What an awesome old knife and surprise.

Very cool and very similar to the ones I have these puppies are hard to find

Here's a Wade & Butcher Pruner/half-hawk with spring-loaded nippers and tweezers. Probably 1920's or earlier. The arrow points to the spring release tab for the nippers. O'.

That's an interesting knife.
I can see where that would be very handy at times.

That is a real gem.

Thanks gents. One of my top ten favorites. O'.

Wow, I really like that pruner.____Dave

4-3/8" Closed. Other companies made them in all-metal, with the same nippers. O'.

Thanks Dave O'.

That's a souped up farmer. Excellent mark and handle quality always makes it better.

Thanks in advance.

Love, love, love the handles Gary. I had 6 of my GEC farmers jacks made without shields to be custom designed like this and scrimshawed. It didn't work out.
That's a great knife.

I would like to thank Skip for pointing me in the right direction.

If anyone would like to see more pictures of any particular piece let me know.
I know they are not all pruning versions.
There may be more hanging out I know there is a case 5 dot may be a couple more.

Hopefully you enjoy.
As always thank you very much

Steve, a VERY nice variety!

This page blew my socks off!

Does anyone know when Remington manufactured the R718 pruning knife. I have read it's in the 1st catalog. But don't have access to one.

Picked up this odd ball pruning / grafting knife ?
Made by Ulster knife company .
Dark horn handles and the spoon blade looks like genuine ivory .

Thanks for looking
Mike
