Pruning knife, ironwood scales
£105.00

Individually handmade knives from a specialised and dedicated workshop at the New Eye Witness Works in Sheffield. Reinstating a long tradition, each knife is made made from start to finish by a single craftsman and mounted with naturally figured horn or hardwood scales. Each is unique, finished, ground, and polished to a very high standard and supplied with a certificate bearing the signature of its maker, and are proposed to represent the ideals and capabilities of this city of cutlery and steel. We have four types.
Pruning knife - with a single stainless blade, brass linings, and polished Ironwood scales. Desert Ironwood (Olneya) is a uniquely figured, exceptionally hard, dense (sinking), and stable brush-shrub wood from the Sonoran Desert of North America. Hardwearing and rot resistant it is perhaps the most highly regarded of scale-making timbers. The pruning knife has a classically curved blade and a sway-backed handle for a comfortable reverse grip, allowing the edge to be used against the thumb for clean and supported pruning.
