All About Pocket Knives

Just in! My latest score... New in box! Schrade Walden ring turn - with customized advertisement. For a feed Company. [at

Just in! That Joseph Rogers from Sheffield.
Purchased it from my U. K. knife picker.

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

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.

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)

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.

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.

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

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

CAMILLUS CUTLERY, RING TURN KNIFE

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

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!!!

Kirk

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

Those are cool lil knives B4U...... looks like a Graef & Schmidt one I had years ago, is yours marked?

They are cool, right?

Yes I believe it is marked on the tang, and it is indeed a Graef & Schmidt.

Cheers,

Kirk

WHOOHOO guys, I just landed these two identical beauties!

Seller has no idea the maker, so I will wait and see?

I will either keep them both, or use the worst shape one for trade, or offer to a knife friend for sale at cost. (They actually both look good!)

"A ring turn a day keeps the Dr. away" ? Or is that money?

Scored an A. W. Wadsworth & Son, ring turn!

Sellers pics

Great tang stamps

SOME OF MY RING TURN COLLECTIONS MAKERS MARKS:

TWO MORE:

Howdy,

Just found these beauties today! Well, they either found me, or were sent for me?

Actually - I must admit that again I had kind of hit the wall when it came to searching online.

So I asked my recently deceased best friend and buddy... "Just send something my way that is so unique, it would blow my mind."

Within less than an hour I get an email from someone I have purchased knives before. Asking me if I would like to purchase. Done!

Then right as I am actually paying for the two knives on PayPal, I get a DM on my instagram from another collector showing me a photo of a beautiful bone W.H. Morely for sale by another member on instagram..

He is said to be contacting me soon. If the price is right I will be buying it as well. This one is all bone, no end bolsters caps. So three amazing knives in about an hour. I truly believe my best friend is up there making connections for me.. Just saying hey dude, I am here. Hard to think it is all just coincidences..

As always - I will post my own photos once in hand...

Pelletts Pat. 'Lever ended knife' England

Henckels 'ALKALI' ring turn knife, with file.

Bronze, an awesome pair of ring turning knives and what a mind blowing story behind them too. My guess is you will get the third one, and soon.
