Nice ones Dimitri! Here is a pruner stamped Cast Steel on the blade and John Copley on the tang.The handles are the thickest I've ever seen on a pruner and I think this is the one with a tapered backspring.I'll have to dig it out and check.

Nice knives, MB and K7K. I love to see the really old ones. There should be a thread titled Knives Made Before the Year 1900.

I would do that Ray, but I don't know if it is proper etiquette to start a thread when I have nothing to post in it?

One half is definitely abalone. The other half I'm not 100% sure about. It could be pearl, but it looks more like white abalone to me.

I haven't heard of white abalone but if it is pearl it has a lot of fire to it and some very strange patination.It doesn't look like paua shell either.Nice knife nevertheless.

Looks like MOP to me, some of the outer part has that yellowish color to it.
Rub it on your tooth, if it is gritty it is definitely shell.

I'm pretty proud to have this Baldwin.
I got these two British Army Knives in a trade with Iron Hoarder.

Big fan of the old knives also, part of the fun for me is the hunt involved in finding them in decent condition. Here are a few of mine, a Chris Wolf jack, Schatt&Morgan pruner, pre WW2 Camillus Engineers knife and a Camillus pruner.

Great knives fellas.
These timeless knives bring us together in mutual admiration. Many truths can't be improved upon,these are examples. I'm glad there are a couple knife companies and a few custom makers that rely on this principle.
Ask for the old paths,where is the good way,and walk therein.
