Florist, Pruning and Grafting Knives

Some sweet prunage indeed !!! That Walden...omg !!!! I would enter the garden with either of those Ulsters too. The Schrades are the Kleidsdales of pruners

I like the Ulster's most, little more defined sway and the rounded handles feel more natural :thumbsup: Of my old knives I do actually use the pruners most because they are abundant and a bit more cost friendly ;) The Walden I do not use though, that one is precious :D
 
Well, Gev Gevonovich Gevonovich , and Charlie waynorth waynorth - you guys along with others in this thread have bullied me into seeking out a nice pruner. Certainly, a heck of a lot better that the two I posted earlier. Here is a Case Pruner with jigged wood (pakkawood) covers I ran across and it now resides with me.

Thanks for the push everyone. I'll have to get a couple/three more.

A literally incredible pair, Lyle! The checkered ivory is so, so special, love to see them!
 
This is just a breath-taking page in this enjoyable thread!! Makes my mid-morning coffee taste so much better!!
Ed's new Case! The old Ulster, Ken's outrageous FJs, John's slim B&Gs! Justin's oldies!
Herder's wonderful KK!!
We're in Hort Heaven!!:D
 
Nice one Ed.
Justin those two have good old pedigrees.
Herder, is that a Walden knife? Whatever, it’s a dandy.
Thanks everybody for the comments, I post in spurts.
 
Ed, just a great older specimen right there:thumbsup:

Justin, love those two. I can't make out the second one's stamp?

Lyle, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow and WOW:eek::eek::eek:

Herder, I love that one and I find it really neat when the etch is still there:cool: sending a pm;)
 
Well, I am still moving some knives to the Cigar box; in fact I had to start another box, so now it's boxes. But I am almost at the end I think!
Here are a few later models, although the French Ivory SCC is pre-WWII.

The top knife is Italian, from Fox Cutlery, which is in Maniago I think.
Then the SCC with "sideways French Ivory!
Next a slim and very light Victorinox, a nice Stag Northfield from GEC, and finally a B&G Victorinox with a brass folding spud!
(Up top is a rough chunk of Baltic Amber polished on one side.)
 
Lyle Those Stag examples make me want to get to grips with them :cool: The Lloyd singles are really interesting, seem like tree scalpels!

Herder, a finely preserved example with a sturdy butt plate, just right for banging down a few nails on the old fences :eek::cool:
 
Thanks, waynorth, wlfryjr., Gevonovich, Paul H., and Will Power.
waynorth had mentioned that there was a time when pruner knives were mostly overlooked, which is true.
That was certainly the case for me early on as I wouldn't give one a second look, and now I do search them out.
