I thought I would share this with you Wilson Ibberson pruner and saw

[GerryD]

I’m really not at all sure about this knife. It measures 5.5” closed and 9.5 -10” open the longer measurement for the saw blade. The knife blade looks to me like a pruner and is marked “Wilson Ibberson” on the tang there may be an “&” between but it’s not clear. The saw blade is marked “Holy” and there is a circle with a + in the centre. I can’t find any reference to Wilson Ibberson and only a couple of early makers called Holy but no clear indication of the mark of a circle with a cross in the centre. The scales have suffered damage on one side and I can’t decide if its Ivory or bone. I can’t see any blood vessels or for that matter anything like the growth rings for Ivory so it’s another mystery.
So over to you I look forward to your responses.

That's a great old knife, Gerry.
I think that name has come up in the past. Have you done a search on this forum for the brand?
Thanks for showing that knife.

Excellent old knife!

The handles are bone, I have seen that mark before but I can't remember the details.
