Maybe someone more savvy than me can

[Capt. Farrel]

Thanks fellas............I'm really proud of that one!!

Frank you are going to have to move over here so you can find some German knives

I guess you are right about that. I just was outbid on a nice Hartkopf with beautiful stag handles....

I keep forgetting to post this Ulster from the 'bay.
I bought it for a user, but once it got here, it's just too nice to bugger up
My lousy photography don't do justice. .....

It's my first Ulster

Thanks for the compliments guys

I was 'researching' Ulster and ran across this on scoutknives.net
Same knife, different shield.

Nice Ulster, Royal. It is funny, but when I was growing up in the sixties I always had one of those, but I do not remember the brand of a single one.

Basser - I really like that Klass Congress.

[royal0014]

I neglected to add this info provided with the picture on scoutknives.net.
The only difference being the shield, I can only presume the dates match

" ULSC4G, BSA #1996 This was the first of the second-generation BSA Ulster knives. 3 3/4 long knife, brown jigged handles, smooth bolsters, round device with BSA eagle, Four blades: Shackle end has short combination cap lifter/flat blade screwdriver and awl, end opposite the shackle has main blade with short nick and can opener.Permanently attached shackle. Manufactured 1962-1979. "

The age along with the remarkable condition is why she's being spared edc duty

[Old Hunter]

Nice Ulster Scout you picked up Royal - only difference between Official BSA and generic "Scout Knives" (aka Camping knives) was whether or not the BSA got a royalty from licensing their trademark. At one time each manufacturer of Official Scout Knives had their own style of BSA shield. There must be thousands of variations of the old Boy Scout knife out there (to collect!) OH

This was my "good fortune" week. I won this splendid 1992 Case stag-handled 5318 Medium Stockman on a GAW hosted by Primble over at the Blade Forums - one of the most fun GAW's I have ever been involved in. Then I won an auction here at AAPK that Jerry is running for the benefit of our Wounded Warriors; our own Salerno Slim donated this fine Case Canoe to Jerry's auction - really pretty bone that my photography skills simply cannot capture (it's a 1974 to the best of my ferreting ability). The Canoe arrived on Wednesday (along with the Medium Stockman) - when he handed me the packages my postman remarked that I must have hit the jackpot - I sure did! OH

One note: the earliest Ulster Derlin Scout pattern Knives from the 1960's (1996 type), official and unofficial, will have the Awl/Punch blade you see in the scoutknives.net picture - rounded near the tip, concave along the back. The Awl of the 70's and 80's is more machined, flat on the back side and pointed at the tip.

Good to know. Thanks! Mine has the concave punch; rather unique.

[Salernoslim]

Glad you like the canoe OH. Some nice stag on that stockman as well.

[jerryd6818]

Good for you Colonel. They're fine looking knives. The stuff envy grows from.

[Nick]

Got these two beauties from Bob at Nutmeg Knives. I have been looking for this L.L. Bean auto for quite some time and I love the condition, better than the example in the book "Antique American Switchblades" especially the fullness of the blade. There is something special about "Butter and Molasses" scales, they have that Vintage look for some reason. I was always jealous of all the Butter and Molasses knives Perry has posted, and I am so happy to own one now. And...the Imperial is an awesome addition to my collection fires like a bear !!

[Salernoslim]

Nice nick! I saw those too and thought they were great. Glad you got them

[TripleF]

Knice knives fellas!

Scored this uptight and outta sight CAMCO jack the other day

[Old Hunter]

Thanks Jerry and Robert - to say I was tickled would be an understatement. OH

[royal0014]

Here's my latest, and my first Robeson. Kinda shot from the hip on this 'un. Seller's pictures were lousy so I knew I was taking a chance. Master blade is slightly tipped and some peek when closed. But I think I can shave the tang and make a good user out of her. Decent walk, talk, 'n snap.

Might be a candidate for a bone transplant.

Are these be iron bolsters? Tang stamp is 542168. ☆

[jerryd6818]

An impulse purchase bought these two Barlows, one a Colonial shell and the other a Utica Kutmaster with solid bolsters & handles. They were both pretty rough and the price reflected that but they cleaned up into a pair of fairly decent users. They'll be fine for try one knives.

This one marked "C. Leonard Petersburg, VA" came today. It's got a nice overall patina and no cracks or chips in the jigged bone.
