When I am out and about I always have an eye out for vintage knives, garden tools and scissors. I look for anything that I think I can restore, sharpen and which could be used again.

| Robeson Fighting Knife |
I found this knife the other day. It is a Robeson knife, stamped U.S.A. I believe it to be a World War II issued knife. It is in great shape, rust on the metal parts that were exposed to the air, just a little rust and tarnish on the metal that was covered by the leather sheath.

| Swiss Made Garden Pruners |
Here is a hand pruner. It is marked as made in Switzerland, and some other words — but I can not see the name of the manufacturer. I searched the web, and found an picture that was similar that was identified as a Boker.
I have a knife that might be what would be a serrated knife — but instead of the curved serrations of current knives, this knife has big, square notches. Both the cutting surface and the downward extending part are probably approaching one half inch. I think it looks like the top of a medieval castle wall!
