Handmade Hawkbill Pruning Knife, Forged from a File, Stag Handle

$85.00

This is a handmade folding pruning knife, the hooked hawkbill blade forged from an old file, a practical reuse of already-hardened tool steel favored by rural knifemakers. The handle is genuine stag, and the action snaps shut with real authority.

A solid, well-made piece in excellent working order.
