I do have an extra MOP 'Humphrey's Radiant' I would consider trading for another ring turn, that I do not have though?
If you have a ring turn you'd trade let me know and we can trade pics. Then knives maybe.

I appreciate the offer, but I only collect old H. Bokers.

Swap ring turns anybody?

I have this beautiful MOP, Humphrey's Radiant' no cracks! Has the classic 'lantern logo' stamped on tang. Sheffield England.
It has normal pocket wear and is in great shape for it's age. The Mother of pearl has great 'fire' I would trade for a nice ring turn that I do not have in my collection. I have three of these! (One for trade)

Just let me know, or send pics of proposed trade ring turn.

Cheers guys!

Another new ring-turn!

I have an association with an online 'picker' in the U. K. now, and he just found and sold me this Joseph Rogers & Sons, Sheffield made old ring turn knife. This is an old one I am sure... I really appreciate the ones that are still full bladed, yet have a great patina going on...

I take new pics when I have it in hand.

Whoohoo!

So, I now have 6 MOP ring turn knives in my collection. Yet duplicates on the Humphrey's Radiant (each of the three Humphrey's a different size though)
I am only listing the four brand named mop ring turns I have found and collected:

Harrison Bros & Howson Sheffield 1 blade (Celluloid Handle restored with MOP handles - By Mr. by Bill DeShivs!)

Humphrey's Radiant, Sheffield

Black Diamond L.B.L. Fully WD Crucible Steel

H. Boker & CO.S Cutlery

*NOTE: The photography in no way does the MOP handles any justice!

Super solid, never sharpened! Just has great carbon patina blades. Plus the awesome Rogers cross stamps on each tang.

[bronze4u]

Another sellers pictures of yet another one on its way to me. J. B. Holland of Sheffield.
Celluloid scales, unused blades! Just patina from time. (Which I love)

I'll post my own photos later

Another score yesterday! It's in the mail on the way:
"The Old Curiosity Shop", Imported by Charles Dickens London. Stainless, Sheffield Made.

[bronze4u]

Hello, So three of four new ring turns arrived!
Below are my own photos of these awesome knives. Enjoy~

1. J.B. Holland Sheffield

2. Stamped handle scale: 'The Old Curiosity Shop' Immortalised by Charles Dickens London. (U.K. spelling is different from our; 'Immortalized'

3. John Watts (frog stamped meaning 1916)

[bronze4u]

Here are a few of my favorite ring turn knife tang stamps. The John Watts Frog is from 1916.
The Joseph Rogers is early 19th Century as well.

[bronze4u]

I have just purchased another new antique ring turn. This is another I purchased from my French contact. It is unmarked yet probably early 19th Century. It is unique that it has barrel shaped ring holders, and it has a covered spring, with a little window exposing the back spring.

I will post my own pics once it gets here from France.

Finally a real jigged bone ring turn! But even more amazing is, it's by Camillus! Yeehaw!
1940's..? On its way in the mail.

[bronze4u]

Wow, a member just sold me this beautiful W. H. Morley, ring turn knife!

That's two bone ones in less than a week.

[bronze4u]

CAMILLUS CUTLERY, RING TURN KNIFE

[bronze4u]

Another new ring turn guys! This is a uncracked, celluloid, 'cracked ice' scaled ring turn. Solingen, Germany is all that is on tang.
These are hard enough to find as it is. Let alone free from shrinkage, or cracking!

Cheers,

Kirk

[bronze4u]

Here are six new ring turns coming in the mail.
The yellow 'Vancouver' one is a generously given contribution to my ring turn collection.

Thank you danno50!!!

Yes! Another new ring turn! Plus this one is a more rare design. 'One blade', plus a bail. It has a crack in the faux horn scale (one side) So after I look it over. If I do not like the crack, I will have knife master Bill Shives, re scale it for me.

Enjoy guys,

Kirk
