Prune Big, or Go Home!

A couple of great sets, Mike!!

Can you tell us a little more about the markings etc? I cannot see them in the pics.

Interesting lockup mechanisms!!
 
Great pruners in here, some real beauties. Found this 70's Case in jigged wood that looks like it sat unused in a garden shed for awhile the way the patina developed. I like the jigged wood, does not to be very common other than this model Case.

Coquanoc Works Philad'a 1876

A big Honkin' ebony handled pruner.



Another, slimmer cocobolo pruner

Also from the Coquanoc Works of Howard W. Shipley (1876)

 
^^ nothing unusual - its just over 4'' closed - but the slim frame makes it look extra long

That jigged wood is good stuff! The patina line gives the knife a lot of character.
 
Nice pair of Coquanocs, IKSski! I'm envious!

Nice Case, Augie! Very Full . . . .
 
Remington was determined to make the best pocketknives, and dominate the market! The company researched what people wanted, and what made the best folders! Firm action, artistic shaping, nice swedges and grinds; these were some of the things used to woo the buying public. Remington had a reputation to uphold, from their fine line of firearms!
This humble pruning knife has some of those upscale features that make a knife owner/user proud to wield such a tool!

The knife has halfstops, and all 3 stops leave no doubt that the blade will stay where it is placed!!Wham!!
Nicely shaped and swedged blade, a flush and square joint, and bolsters with a rattail groove, and a cool curved thread line on each side, leave no doubt that this knife was well and thoughtfully made! I like this knife, needless to say! At 4 1/2" long, it makes an undeniable statement!
Sometimes ya just gotta hold your nose and say thanks for EBay!
 
Thanks 1500 and Augie! It is nice when a working knife gets a little extra detailing!
 
Very nice Charlie :thumbup:

Not too big, but it is a Saynor :)



 
Charlie, that old Rem is really something special!
Jack, I like that Saynor, too. Wicked point on that blade, despite its age! How big (rather... how small) is that knife?

Thank you sir, it's 3 13/16 - not accounting for the curve ;)
 
Thanks for the positive (and non-cheeky:eek:) remarks my friends:)!

That Saynor has a serious case of gorgeousness, Jack! Poor thing! I have a home for knives like that :rolleyes: - let me take care of it for you!!:D
