Looks great!

I have a bunch, but nearly all are Delrin handled. A couple are wood, and that's about it. Around here, due to their ubiquity in the coal mines, the Klein/Kutmaster hawkbills are everywhere, and pocket change priced; so I always pick one up if the blade's good, and I've been given quite a few as well.

Very nice pruner, Unclebob. ::tu::
Beautiful handle.
Just that little space between the start of the nicely formed bolster and the top of the tang at the choil.
The tang, the kick and the bolster. Very nice. Good ol' Joseph Rodgers.
