The " Roosters " are crowing for the " Farmers"

Certainly agree with that Lyle :thumbsup:

But all Farmer's Jacks are exceptional, both great & small :cool:

With the prices I've seen, I've thought about selling my own, but not too seriously .
I am sometimes pococurante ( I tried to find a word I couldn't find in my mind to describe myself) about knives until I see or here of a different or new farmers jack or I hear from Bill Howard.
I then become obsessed, the farmers jacks consume me and I feel they are all related to my collection.

Lyle, I get what you mean. I have been there at times too. Then something comes along and gets my juices flowing again. I have said this time and time again, but man do I wish I had found GEC a few years before I did in 2018...

Will can certainly dress up for a photography session. I had a double take on that exquisitely attired camel shin.

Thanks Lyle, actually, it's not too different from the real thing- just put a filtre on it. The Bone is really smooth and speckled, feels almost like stone- those Camels are tough brutes! If you get the chance on one of these Tidioutes I'd recommend it. Fine user.

Not that it holds a candle to those gems you just showed; the Rhidian is arresting and that Stag from the dark by Ken E. Such a pity he no longer makes knives, I'd love to see chequered Horn or Ebony get a come-back but it's a rare and likely vanished art.

Many thanks, Will
 
A comparison of different makers pruner grinds. Schrade had different grinds on similar era knives and multiple selections.

6.Simmons HDWE- English or German no country of origin, but the pressed stag indicates European
7.Wester Bros

Oh, I think the New York knife, Henckels , and
Wostenholm bear similar resemblances with the New York knife, being larger, but similar in shape.

Do you have a favorite pruning blade among these?
