A new pruner for my collection.
This one is a early Joseph Rodgers.

I love it when threads wake up from a long nap, especially when it's a nice knife that does the waking!
A nice Joseph Rodgers does the job very well!
Great pruner, 1500!

1500
As Charlie said-nice Hawkbill - in fact thats a little bit of a rarer pin pattern - usually they are 3 or 4 pinned, havent seen too many 5 pinned? I would put big money on it being original scales - even though the pins are a wee bit untidy - thats nothing uncommon for these earlier Sheffields.
Great knife man...was working on returning your e-mail - do you think I could find it now - cant even find iot in Deleted items ( not that I would delete it)

Last weekend, a friend paid me a debt with an old Thomas Turner Pruning knife. Nice stag, square and clean joint and thunderous snap all add to its attraction. Well paid!

The deep etch probably said "Encore".

4" of hefty work knife!

I am ever grateful for the half-stop. This knife is like a semi-tame crocodile!
Back! Back!!

Charlie, that stag is killer!

How old is the knife?

Awesome addition's to a great thread. Gotta love that old Sheffield stag.

Beautiful knives everyone. Awesome stag shown.

Charlie. Yes Encore. Similar to the knife on the far right in this early 1900 catalogue.

My knife similar to the jack knife on the far left.

Looks like our knives are from a similar era, Steve - thanks for posting the catalogue page! Nice Jack - the Stag Turner had access to was great stuff.

Nice TEW Jack!

There are so many subtle things that make a big, old Stag pruner a satisfying find!!
