Modern Pruning Knives
I have a couple of modern pruning knives that I bought in the last year and i figutre maybe I should post them, see how they stack up against the old ones.
Aesthetically I prefer the old ones, but the new ones both seem to be stronger and better built.
The black knife has a kind of unique slide open/clsed mechanism (below). you have to slide it to the open or close position then use your thumb on the little protrusion on the blade and----viola!!
The yellow one has a manufacturer etched into the blade.
New Zealand Svord. Yes, Svord not Sword. And until I saw this photo I thought it said New England.

Yes it is I used it just today.
And I now use the other knife of the two--the Seber--as my EDC. It has that unique open/close/won't open or close 3 way switch. It is sharp and well weighted plus it has a belt clip. Sweet!

The blade works kind of like a swingarm.
