Guest alvin Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I have two saynor knives that have single folding blades about two and a half inches long. One has Saynor written on the blade and Saynor sheffield England at the base of the blade. The other has only Saynor Sheffield England at the base of the blade. The outside is made of ivory which extends to a a flat rounded blade. My question is: What is this for? Sorry no picture as this is the extent of computer literacy. Thanks Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the site. Does your knife look like the one in post no 5 in the link below? http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/i...?showtopic=3156 If so, it is a budding knife. The flat end of the handle is used for prying open the slot in the host plant (made with the blade) for the insertion of the graft. Used with roses, vines etc....
