A beautiful knife. Great find!

I thought it was a hive as well. I now believe, It is a keg with a tap. Either way both great images and things...

Just scored another paper folding/letter opener one blades ring turn. I have just two or three of this type of ring turn, already. With a 5 inch letter opener! Though, this one has some breakage on the scales. I had to purchase it for my collection. This is a German maker “Bonsa” I’ll either leave it ‘as is’, or have Bill D. Rescale it...

My Bonsa ring turn finally arrived! It’s been around the block a few times. Chips from scales, repaired crack in letter opener. Blade is nice and has great snap opening and closing. All in all an ok purchase at $49.00.

B4u it appears that your 'ok' is a little closer to 'wow' on my scale. I sure enjoy your sharing with us. I've got two or three now and that is probably enough for me but I sure enjoy yours. Thank you. ::nod:: ::nod:: ::handshake::

Haha! Well, thanks! I am pretty particular I guess. I really don't like 'glued' or cracked up parts. Even if done well, I know it been fixed! Lol OCD?
Thanks for the comments doggleg!

Cheers ::handshake::

Just when I think I am finished. They keep dragging me back in! Just scored this very scarce Simmons Hardware ‘Hornet’ I really like the Hornet!

Three of my most recent collected. This is why I am addicted to collecting these little ring turns. The diversity of my most recent ones. Really shows just how different each ring turn can be. And you never know what is ‘out there’....

Man those 3 are sweet knives b4u ::tu:: .
If you want too, Jesse over @ oldpocketknives.com has a vintage Schrade ring turner with original leather pouch for reasonable. I've purchased knives from him before, he's great to deal with and has a amazing website.

Thanks! WillyCamaro... Thanks for the suggestion as well. However, I have a heap of Schrades. Unfortunately, they are all the same to me now. Unless they are a customized advertising one or have something uniquely different.

Like this Thanksgiving Schrade. (not my knife or photo though. I wish it was though!)

Thanks though!

Just scored a ‘Whisky’ ring turn knife! The whisky ones are hard to come by. This will be my very first time scoring on one. This one is shipping to me from a French/British company. Yeehaw! ::nod::
