Nice knives guys!

These old ring openers are a pretty scarce item.

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".

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???

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:
[email protected]
Thanks for listening!
Cheers,
Kirk

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

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
