Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives
I could not find a thread just on old Pruning/Horticultural knives here in Knife Lore.
Here is an old one with nice pick bone handles, Holley Lakeville Conn.

Re: Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives
Here's an I-XL George Wostenholm pruner with solid brass handles, probably from the 60's. Not that old, but I think a cool knife.

Re: Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives
Now that's a cool old pruner. Are the handles horn and are they engraved? Who's the maker? Boy, a lot of questions, huh?

Re: Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives
TJ,
Knife is made by Herder, the blade has an etch "Don Carlos".
The handles are wood, the front side had a name impressed into it, but I cannot make it out.
Here is an old Humason & Beckley, unused condition

Re: Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives

And a variety old unused Sheffield prunner blades.

Re: Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives
Mike,
I think I have a tortoise shell handle one and maybe a wood handle one.
I have seen an unused bone handle one 15 years ago, it is a very unique jigging pattern
Do you have a knife box by them??
