Dimitri, Did you notice the SCHRADE in the bottom left in the group pic? Up until seeing yours, I'd not seen one. J.O.

Wow, did not notice that!

Now that's two of them

My last pickup from the Bay, Mason & Sons, The only Hawkbill that I own!

You started off with a bang! Love those handles!

That's a fine old knife.

While I do appreciate American-made pruners, I prefer English models as M.B. does.
Here are three old American flat cap models from the early 1900s.
Ulster on top, Holley in the middle, and a Keen Kutter with blade etch on the bottom.

Nice trio!

I have a Holley in jigged bone, same heavy brass butt cap.

Agree

Here's a Brit that checks all my boxes:Triple-fluted, integral bolsters, blade stamp, company address on tang, big fat butt, and snaps like a dragon. J.O'.

Thanks, and nice jigged bone model as well.
Holley certainly used thick butt caps on their pruners.
Here is an old Russell.

Thank you!

Russell made some good ones

I had to dig deep for this one.

Not to many of these around that I have seen, hard brand to find.

Those bones are rich!

Wow Miller bros, that's a rare beautiful knife. I think in 25 plus years collecting, I've seen and purchased two Griffins.____Dave

Thanks. Great Griffon! Does anyone have a Flylock pruner? Love to see it, as that's probably as close as I'll ever get! J.O'.

Thanks doglegg and Ridgegrass, and that Wade Wingfield & Rowbotham is a good looking knife with those triple fluted bolsters.
