Not that anybody will care, but...
I believe what you are calling an herb knife is actually a banana knife. The
first time I had one it took me forever to figure it out. I have one right now
marked Universal L. F. & C. (Landers, Frary & Clark).
If you go here you will see more about banana knives than you ever thought
possible and some old catalog reprints identifying them as such.

Subject: [OldTools] Spring Jacktown Engine Show Flea Market May 2019 Day 1
This weekend is the annual Spring Jacktown Engine Show flea market. This is
scheduled for Saturday and Sunday but there are vendors that set up early, so I
was there. The weather was mild and sunny when I got there but it soon clouded
up. There weren't too many folks set up but the few that were there had some
goods to offer.
Some of the action.

Pickings were okay. In woodworking tools, I got an 8" Yankee brace, good shape,
but the ratchet and chuck need some attention, a set if 6 Irwin bits in the
case, a carving tool and a couple of chisels, and a Stanley SW 6" bevel square.

In the miscellaneous department, I got an herb cutting knife, a Starrett sheet
metal thickness gage, a neat machinist protractor, a nice Snell & Atherton
leather thickness gage, a big screwplate, a leather pinking tool hand forged
from a file, a sweet little H Boker divider, a saw setting wrest and split nut
screwdriver tool, a Starrett metric rule in the case, and an old small double
caliper.

Not a great pile but it was worth the effort.
And I had posted this on Facebook yesterday but this month marks my 25th
anniversary of being in the old tool business.
