Assorted new vintage 2 1/2" (closed length) serpette / pruner jack made in Maniago Italy roughly from the 1950s to 70s. These have a carbon steel blade, steel springs and iron rosette pins and cow horn handle scales. These are super rustic style folders that would be hard to differentiate from ones made hundreds of years ago. Used for doing small pruning jobs such as vines and small branches these would be a farmers knife. 

These do not have incredibly strong springs and are not super precise mechanically, expect wiggles, imperfections all around but a super charming very old style knife. 

These are from a batch of vintage Italian folders that were exposed to water, most were not salvagable but many were, these will have evidence of of previous water damage; pepper spots, pits or darkening of handles from rust or small cracks and crazing (shallow cracks) of the horn. 

These do not come sharpened, please specify if you would like a fresh edge. 

2 1/2" closed, 4 3/4" open
