Case 1977 6292. Bone looks nice and I didn't have one. Price was right to.

A Bloodwood and an antique Amber jigged bone 48's and an antique yellow jigged bone caplifter.

My dad carried a Craftsman stockman and I didn't get his knives (long ugly story involving a second marriage) so I bought this Craftsman Stockman because it was inexpensive. Is it just like Dad's knife? Probably not but it's close enough for government work. I'll clean it up some and it'll be just fine. Does this look Ulster made to anyone other than me? (It's the orange handles and the jigging.)

Don't forget pictures Don. Are the 48s the single blade variety?

Jerry you forget I'm computer illiterate on the pics, but yes on single blades

That looks exactly like an ulster 98 stock that I have. I'm pretty certain schrade made both.

Thanks Paul. I figured, because I have an Ulster 63 with those handles. They are not attractive.

Yes, but never really learned it or the computer that much. Big computer has been down. Think the power supply went out again. Doing my reading on my phone and tablet right now.

There may be a way to get pictures from the camera to the phone or tablet but if there is, I don't know how. However, it's pretty easy to post pictures taken on your phone or tablet. There's a tutorial in the "Tips & Tricks" forum. Of course unless you don't want to bother with it, then all of that is irrelevant.

Agreed. I don't know if your's is close to the original color or if age has got the best of it, my 98 is a nice looking reddish brown.

Won't know until I get it. Probably won't even know then because I've never seen one in new condition.

Here's the 63.

KnifeSlinger#81 · Post by **KnifeSlinger#81** » Tue Mar 28, 2017 2:13 pm

I have a feeling that was the intended color

jerryd6818 · Post by **jerryd6818** » Tue Mar 28, 2017 3:20 pm

Me too.

Well earlier I got an email saying I had $15 ebay bucks, so naturally I search "vintage pocket knife" BIN from low prices to high. I came across this utica stock. Fabulous dark and matched rogers bone and full looking blades. The pics are hard to tell exactly what shape it's in but I think it was worth the $14 that actually didn't directly cost me anything. There looks to be some rust to clean up though.

Ulster Bonite. Definitely.

Ulster Bonite. Definitely.

It's been said that it's bad to shrink but I have two or three and have seen pictures of several more and none have/had shrunk that I could see.

Picked up a 4" Colonial Anvil Jack off eBay this evening. It has a chip out of the pile side handle but other than that it looks pretty good from the picture.

Ordered a Kershaw Grant County yesterday. 2-5/8" closed, ABS scales.
It's the companion to the Corral Creek I got a month ago.

Old Hunter · Post by **Old Hunter** » Mon Apr 03, 2017 9:20 pm

Uh oh Jerry, can you feel yourself sliding down the slippery slope of Anvil collecting? Nice pickup pard. Now I do feel myself sliding down the Cattle trail, dropping money here and there - bought another Junior Cattle Knife, this one off of ebay this morning. Sellers picture - should have it later this week or early next week; a Camillus 75. OH

Old Hunter · Post by **Old Hunter** » Mon Apr 03, 2017 9:22 pm

Royal, those Kershaw lock-backs are nice knives, local gunshop here used to stock them - very solid. OH

KnifeSlinger#81 · Post by **KnifeSlinger#81** » Mon Apr 03, 2017 9:34 pm

Nice camillus Bruce. I had been eyeing that one but never got around to it. Cattle knives are hard not to like.

It's coming

tjmurphy · Post by **tjmurphy** » Thu Apr 06, 2017 1:50 pm

Picked this one up on ebay from our very own olderdogs1. ULSTER/Knife/Co. Jack with horn handles. 3.75" closed. The handles have a few bites in them from whatever those beetles are called but just adds a little character, or would be a great candidate for a custom rehandle. Pre WWII.

philco · Post by **philco** » Thu Apr 06, 2017 7:06 pm

TJ that jack would look great in ebony.

gsmith7158 · Post by **gsmith7158** » Thu Apr 06, 2017 7:16 pm

I'm with Phil on that Tj. I vote for ebony as well.
