Post by: Ron Who on March 17, 2018, 03:33:28 PM

Picture coming up.

Nice! I have six, but they´re all singles. I have yet to venture into the realm of multiblade Gardeners.  :like:

The black ones have brass liners and cost more than the red ones.
The red ones have aluminium liners and weigh less.

The black pruner is my favorite.

Nice thread, i love these knives, they have been on my radar for quite some time, i only have one though, a Felco branded single blade that for now i cant lay my hands on

This Vic has been with me the longest, since 1986, and was my second Vic knife ever. When I bought it I was carrying a Super Tinker, which is long gone now, but this one stayed in my toolbox for grafting and budding duties, of which it helped do a fair amount. I still have occasional use for it. I will say that it has always held a keen edge and has bit me on more than one occasion.  :D

Colorful flower knives are beautiful.  :like:

I have a few 100 mm Victorinox gardener knives.  But I like 110 mm series with wood handles too (Victorinox Pruning Knife 1.9200 in the picture).  They are very well made, but a little bit expensive.

Nice pic Ron.  What's the blade shape of the fourth knife down all about?  Is the top side of the blade sharp as well?

It´s the same knife as in twiliter´s pic. The top end of the blade has a bevel but isn´t sharpened, it´s used to lift the bark of the host when grafting.

I only have one, and carry it very rarely (mostly on dressy clothes and inside a pouch or caddy, because it lacks clips, bails or attachment points)

I have been using one of the Gardener Pruner knives and a Day Packer knife in my wood whittling projects.  I have read they have higher rockwell rating than normal Victorinox knives (which I have used for years) and I have found they cut well and hold an edge longer than normal Victorinox knives.  Bryan

They are super sharp, mine was shaving sharp when I got it, and it's done it's job over the years with minimal edge maintenance. I always wondered if it was a different grade of stainless than the SAKs.  :think:

Pruners. The red one has aluminium liners and weighs 34.3 grams. The black one with brass liners weighs in at 49.0 grams.

I've acquired and desecrated a 100 mm now :) all in the name off whittling ofc. Takes a bit to get used to whittling with a chisel grind but the steel is definitely better on the edge retention side!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180327/1be9e6a9d58fc3b2176a146cd544ba78.jpg)

The wharncliffe is my favorite blade design, very nice for delicate work.

The big one in the middle has a very “active” back spring, surely would not want to close that on my finger. 😳

Mfw I bid on a black gardener on eBay, re raise to stay on top only to realise it can't be shipped to Sweden anyway.


Why can I even bid on that item grrr(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180603/36cfccf93965fc628530720e31301b9b.jpg)
