Hi, I understand some of you are buying the canal street ring-turn knives. Here is a little something for you to ponder while you wait. I noticed that CS doesn't have one with a 'genuine Ivorine' handle. Oh well :D This Humphrey's Radiant was made around the 1920s. Note the brass fixtures and the nail nick for normal opening if so desired.

SK that's a real eye catcher, where are you finding these fine looking antique knives..?

Good morning and thanks very much Sunburst. I find many of them on a well known auction website and the odd few at anitques fairs.
 
My Step-Father has one of those but, sadly, I don't have the equipment
to post photos even if I was allowed to. His is very worn; the blades are
more like the awls on a harness jack than penknife blades. It's a lovely
little folder, nonetheless.

He has real problems with manual dexterity so the ring-turn mechanism
is a boon to him. Nice pic Mr SK. :)
