Just a few I got on this phone
Few more
Okay I’m like a little knife porn. The usual suspects shiny bevels… WAIT pruning shears??? How in the world did the you do those?? Did they actually fit in the WE? I’m really curious?? Do tell?
Lol knife porn. Ain’t that the truth. I haven’t put anything up because it is kinda the same so I put the pruners, pirate sword and convex pics in there. These corona pruners come apart and the blade pops out. They came out really sharp. When I finally get around to fixing my computer ill add some more pics that aren’t knives. There’s alot you can do on the w

Those secateurs look lethal !
Yeah man they’re deadly, branches break all by themselves when
the secateurs get too close haha. Ever read Epistoloary Sesquipedalian Lexiphanicism from the Occident
Leo?? I haven’t heard that word since my hort classes back in college
No I haven’t I shall google it I suppose this is where American English & English English differ a bit since shears to me is a much more of general word hence pruning shear - hair shears etc and necessitates two words rather than one I think most people in England if they prune use the word secateurs rather than shears although the noun looks as if it has French roots I struggled to find the spelling for them I admit not been the best speller although mention of that in the OED1
I bet branches move away from you armed with those although on a more serious note I expect from a tewchnical point of you there is less trauma caused to whatever you prune with those .
Oxford ~English Dictionary referes to both terms
secateurs, n. pl.
(sÉ›kəˈtÉœËz, ˈsÉ›kÉ™tÉœËz, formerly ‖sekatÅ“rz)
Also sécateurs.
[ad. F. sécateur, as if ad. L. *secÄtor (bad form for sector), agent-n. f. secÄre to cut.]
A kind of pruning shears with crossed blades. rare in sing.

I was just about to change my comment after seeing where you are from because I didn’t want you to take it the wrong way.
I had exchange students friends from Chile, Germany and Italy in high school
and.remember it took them a month or two to get everyones humor
Anyways nice looking island, can’t believe there’s a McDonald’s on it
There is Subway Dunkin Doughnuts & a few others that is if you are referring to Mallorca . As to English English I have know idea what they are using now most of the young in England are using Patwa so language is going more Orwellian (newspeak 1984).
Please don’t hesitate to write whatever you like I do not take it the wrong way .
I still think those secateurs are frightening I can imagine a scene in a film where some one lops off fingers they would work well for that.
How do those edges hold up to pruning?
I just googled the book Epistoloary Sesquipedalian Lexiphanicism from the Occident looked at a few quotes i did not understand hardly any of the quotes sort of thing to read on an iPad at least one can define each word still it would be hard for me to follow having to find definitions for every other word . It has intrigued me I shall have to have another look for the moment it looks like gobbledegook to me so I shall have to see if it is or not . LOL
No one understands that book. The pruners work great for whatever you want to cut branches …fingers ..toes haha
Laughing aside sharp pruners are less damaging to what they are cutting - cut an apple with a blunt knife & it goes brown in half the time it takes if an apple is cut with a sharp knife.
Agreed. You definitely need sharp tools when budding, grafting, pruning or taking cuttings. Everything heals quickly and looks cleaner. Here’s two more. My Hedge shears and loppers
Well I’ve seen it all now! :lol:
Awesome they must be a joy to use your garden must be stunning.
But surely you understand these quotes? 
Lady brought these convex vine’s and got some other stuff
Two more
Good selection ; how are you going to to the hair cutting scissors(plus those edges look like they are convexed) & clipper blades ?
The knife with a curved blade looks like a mushroom knife.
The Japanese knife looks like a Sayaira Kogatana which is a woodworking knife is it double or single beveled?
Certainly an interesting selection I imagine you have your own mushroom knife.
The clipper blades were from some kind of beard trimmer. I just worked them as you would on a wet stone. The scissors came out very nice. I figured out a way to do convex edges that works for me. That cool mushroom knife is actually an old carpet cutting knife that was made by Klein tools I found out. I have no idea about the small knife. Its a single bevel made in Japan. That came out really clean. I need a better camera and for people to send in more of those.
Well done !! I do use an Edge Pro pro for scissors but it is a slow process to convex on a fixed angle machine I have done some globals that way I thinned them to the edge at 10Ëš then with the finishing stone I put a micro bevel of 15Ëš then one at 14-13-12-11 then stropped the steps out last time I did these Globals; this time I did them on Shapton bench stones covexing to the edge finishing at 16000 grit then a light strop they were quicker to do this way and sharper (since the finest stone I have for the EP is 1200grit although I do have some tapes but they fizzle out at 6000 grit.)
My attitude is to do whatever is needed to achieve a result I like guided systems for smaller knives since they are hard to hold on bench stones and I also do the cheaper chefs knives currently on the EP although I should get my WE any day now.
I like having a choice of how I am to sharpen a knife. If someone handed me a custom folder or sheath knife the WE will be the choice to use since both with the EP or bench stones it is possible to put the odd scratch where it is not meant to be .
