Just the right tone of red in the handles, not too bright, but not pinkish either - looks like an old red bone. OH

Horticultural; budding/grafting/pruning knife I think! Might have Circassian (English and European) Walnut handles!! My father had some fancy Custom Rifle Stocks made from it!!Ettrick ish CharlieSerpentine wood handle, carbide blade but it is a sheepsfoot blade and a bit longer than what I think is typical of the ETTRICK pattern.
You tell me. I defer to you. Isn't the Ettrick blade more likely to be more of a Wharnie and shorter?
Here are a few more photos. Quite an old one.

I can't tell if the handle is Walnut. Looks more like a dirty Rosewood but I don't know if Rosewood was a common knife wood in Germany.
Wicked snappy little thing. I've been leaving it partially deployed hoping to loosen up the action. It is a great old pocket knife
and the bale is a nice feature.

Nice knife, Arathol!! I would call that a 2-bladed Sfilato!!
The maker, Michele Fraraccio, calls it a Duetto, a two bladed mozzeta with a pen as a second blade.Nice knife, Arathol!! I would call that a 2-bladed Sfilato!!
??? It's not solid black between the four borders/edges ... it's in focus ... What's "wrong" or "poor" about it?(Poor picture!)
