Description

Offered is a vintage folding pruning and grafting knife featuring a classic curved handle and long carbon steel blade. This style of knife was widely used by orchard workers, vintners, farmers, and gardeners for pruning fruit trees, trimming vines, and grafting work.

The knife features a beautifully aged dark handle, likely horn or hardwood, secured with a traditional pinned construction. The handle terminates in a metal cap, a common feature found on quality European pruning knives from the late 19th through mid-20th century.

The blade retains an attractive working patina and displays the character expected from a tool that saw actual agricultural use. Whether added to a collection of vintage knives, agricultural tools, vineyard memorabilia, or primitive Americana, this is an appealing and functional example of an increasingly difficult-to-find style.
