Ring Opener
I saw this on Ebay. I he'd never seen a double ring opener before. It was in INDIA!! After looking up the history, it makes total sense. Singleton Priestman Sheffield went out of business in 1936 while India was still a british colony. Really cool. The blades still snap like they are brand new.

Actually most ring turns are doubles. You don't have to go far to learn more about these -- see here.
An impeccably timed post I might add!

Cool - check out Knife World a few months back - there was an article on a pearl handled ring turn knife. These are great conversations starters. Nice find.

Alec,
This is a terrific find! I also have never seen a ring knife with openers at both ends.
