Ring Openers
Here's the only one I have. Anybody else have any of these?
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Re: Ring Openers
Nice knives guys! These old ring openers are a pretty scarce item.

When I saw this Schrade Cut Co offered here by Red Trout Knives, I knew I had to add it to my collection
Thanks Rich

Brrokes & Crookes Sheffield silver scaled ring knife stamped for 1909. Tangs are stamped Asprey 166 Bond St. ( they are a high end London retailer that are still in business)
I measure my collection by the ton.

Re: Ring Openers
I have several Schrades although no pictures. All is not lost because I also have several Canal Street Cutlery Ring Openers and I do have pictures of these....

Here's my CSC Ring Opener. It seems to have a little different jigging than the ones above.

Yours is called "Amber Jigged Bone". The two above are (I believe) "Amber Stag Bone".Big Barn wrote:Here's my CSC Ring Opener. It seems to have a little different jigging than the ones above.

Re: Ring Openers
It kinda looks like everyone has been itching to pull out their ring turners…well I got mine in but no pic yet…Humphreys Radiant Sheffield all metal advertising Goldsmith & Harzberg Providence…I'm guessing it dates to the 20's I can't find much data on the jewelry firm out of rhode Island. It might be older than 20's???

Re: Ring Openers
Hello group! If anyone here would be interested in trading and or selling any ring turn knives - just let me know.
I have a canal street I would trade, and I have a couple other ring turns I have doubles on, so I would trade them as well. Plus I have many high end vintage autos/gravity knives, or vintage straight razors (over 60 razors) Anyhow I collect ring turns and offer great trades, or immediate paypal purchases. Just email me, or message me here or from my profile. Ask about my knives open for trade possibilities and I will provide more photos.
My personal email is: sculpturesales@hotmail.com
Thanks for listening!
Cheers,
Kirk

Re: Ring Openers
Thanks Kirk ... If I stop admiring it myself I will no doubt let you know ... Funny thing is it sort of landed in my lap at a knife show when a friend who knows what I like for knives told me he has a knife I may just like ...

Re: Ring Openers
First time seeing this thread Lee. That's a beautiful little knife. I have never come across any Empire or seen a ring knife in person. If you only have one that is a good one to have. Dimitri really has a nice collection of them
