Bay item number:

[Modoc ED]

We don't do the bay, where to get em, or prices. I think you have to have a gold membership to do any of that.

 

[Jack Black]

I don't think you're going to find much info here either

 

[int3414]

thanks anyway

its this one
Bay item number:

I tried searching that number but couldn't get a result. If it's a closed listing and you bought the item you can post the link. As long as price is not discussed maybe someone will have some additional information. Good luck.

Goins gives dates of 1875 to present for Humphreys. Tweedale says Humphreys was last listed in the Sheffield directories in 1970.

I have one by Richards of Sheffield and an older Schrade Walden. I should have pix.

C'mon guys don't you remember, a ring turn knife was the first BFC forum knife 2006 made by Canal Street Cutlery.

Here's a couple Schrade metal handle ones I have. Sorry for the crappy pic...







This other is a mod I did. The original had these ugly green warped plastic covers, so I put some smooth blue bone on.

And of course my BF forum knife...
