Can someone give me info on this item.
This was my grandfathers. On 1 blade it says Garantie Solingen. On 2 of the other blades it says Laratet A Turin, with an eagle I think. I believe it is German. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Woah, that thing is nuts!
Part of it has to be German, if it's marked "Solingen." But "Laratet Turin" & "Garantie" sounds very French. Wouldn't be a surprise though, this multi-tool is definitely a hodgepodge fusion of knives. Nice unique piece!

WOW! Rafe! First let me say it has been a good long time since I have researched antique gardening tools and this one is intriguing. Based on the blades I believe what you have is a grafting knife. Garantie Solingen is on many brands so I think it is just the origin stamp. Laratet A Turin could have been who it was made for, like a hardware store. There is somewhere that may be able to provide more info http://www.oldgardentools.co.uk/pruning. They have a contact email for inquiries.
If you get more info will you please share it here for me? Thanks for the fun research
