RING CUTTER



This strangely alluring tool would have come in handy to thieves raiding earlier battlefields for the rings of the less lucky.  I'm sure the maker was thinking more of fingers swollen with arthritis, heat or injury. Regardless, it's an elegant bit of engineering, with the added style of a blown steel handle and made in America.

From the collection of JT Hall
