Complex knives like that fascinate me, but I know someone here who would truly love owning one.

Hello.....My Name Is Smitty.....and I am a Gadget Freak! Might I add that is just an awesome piece of tooling!!

Ripster: Don't know how old it is.. Check the "Rd. Number" 715810. I think that's like our patent numbers. Might find a date there. I'll try too. Let you know. J.O'.

Found it! 1954 Thought it might be older!

I too would have thought It was older.

I went to "British Patent Numbers" and found the number that's stamped on one of the pruner arms. It says "Rd. No." 715810
Anybody want to try another search. Let us know.. Sure appears to be older than 1954. But you know the Brits. Compare a '54 Ford or Chevy to a Brit car of the same year. The Brit will look like a late 30's or 40's model. J.O'.

[Ridgegrass]

Could be just Wade and Butcher's model number??

All I know is, I love it! Outstanding!

[Ridgegrass]

Thanks, it's a little special treasure. J.O'.

That is a gem, and does look older than 54? But like you said about the Brits, either way great old piece of cutlery . Thanks for sharing that one with us.
