Will trade vintage Press Button for ring turn knives
Posted: Wed May 02, 2018 5:51 pm
Hey guys! So, I have this amazingly nice vintage press button that I am willing to trade for the right ring turn knife or knives. (I currently have 88 ring turn knives) So, at this point I am looking for the unique and unusual ring turn models. Such as unique handle materials or designs on all metal handles, logos, etc.
My press button fires both blades hard and fast, so hard it has some bounce back at times. If any of you are interested and have something you think might be a good trade.... Please post offers and pics of ring turns, or message me.
Thanks! Kirk
This has sterling silver scales.
