redial Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Has anyone heard of this make please. There is a small stamp of a birds nest on the blade. It belonged to an elderly relative who carried it for many years. He was a keen gardener and countryman. I would think it was sold as a grafting knife. Any information appreciated.

rimfire4969 Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Never heard of the maker, but I expect someone will be along who has. I would call that a prunning knife, it has a bit of a look of a lambsfoot but they have a straight blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) It's an English knife made by Southern and Richardson of Sheffield. Don't think they are in business any more, but I could be wrong. Edited August 5, 2018 by walshie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
