Does anyone recognize the top (black-handled) knife in this photo?

The poster thought it was called the 'horticulture' model but I have not been able to track down any knife of that name.

I believe the bottom is a Vic "florist's knife", never seen the top before.

(after edit)
Yup, a Florist Knife

Swiss Army Knives have been word famous since 1891 for their many uses, precision engineering and durability. This knife is excellent for flower arranging and is used in floral shops by professional florists. The blade measures 2.5 inches, is made from stainless steel and retracts into a durable red plastic handle. I was first introduced to this knife when I worked as a floral arranger in a florist shop years ago and have used one ever since. At Red Rock Farms these knives have countless uses in the garden and around the office as well!

I've got one like the top except mine has a red handle. I've had it for quite a few years, and I'm afraid I don't recall the model name anymore. It is chisel ground, by the way. I think they may have called it a grafting knife, but I'm probably wrong.

P.S. I also believe that model was discontinued a number of years ago.

Hey, that's my picture! :p

I still have the box for it. The label simply says "horticulture knife". It's not that old, and I got it new in box. But I can't for the life of me remember where. Think it was a gardening related website. It wasn't expensive, about $12, iirc. It's different from the Gardener in that it has brass liners rather than aluminum. Both are very finely made knives for ten times what they cost. Excellent EDC knives.
