Re: Horticultural Knives, Lets see them!
Thanks Joe and everybody. I bought that about ten years ago and I'm sure it was priced wrong. I think they forgot a zero on the tag. It's a sweetie, one of my favorites.

Re: Horticultural Knives, Lets see them!
By the way, there are 3 more Kunde catalogs here, besides 1910
They are very similar, but the later ones have better picture quality

Re: Horticultural Knives, Lets see them!
This one is a bit different than others posted here, but in truth I'm not exactly sure which thread would be the most relevant
Either here or a fixed blade thread. This was a recent present for my wife. A Japanese hori-hori. It has a handle like you'd see on a dagger, not a shovel. The blade is more blade than shovel, but has a slightly rounded shape to make useful as a shovel. It'll still slice paper after she went to town on a gnarly root ball. A well made tool.
That's my Etsy store where I sell old knives and sometimes handmade knife accessories to support my knife habbit. Thanks for looking my friend.
