Re: Ulster Collecting
An old Ulster Stock Man with a really cool master blade. Saber grind with double nail nicks on front, and flat grind on back. 4" closed.

Re: Ulster Collecting
I agree Barry. That one has everything going for it. The shape, the bone, and the blades, especially the master, are very appealing.

Nice ones!
Re: Ulster Collecting
Picked up this large Ulster pruner, I think this has a fairly early tang stamp.

Re: Ulster Collecting
Very fine handle on this old Ulster Hawkbill. Maybe Rosewood ?
From my casual observation the older Hawkbills have a slightly higher quality of wood than the ones that came later; by 'older' i am meaning before WW I, some of these 'older' Hawkbills are from 1890's.
However it might not be the case, but just that i need to see more of this pattern.
My guess is that your Hawkbill is pre WW I.

Re: Ulster Collecting
And end caps are more often seen on the 'older' (pre WW I ) Hawkbills than on those made later.
I am using WW I to divide into the really old ones vs. just 'old', as i shift i think i can see in the quality of wood used for the handles. Whether WW I was the time that handle changes happened (if indeed it even did happen), i don't know, it's guess.

Re: Ulster Collecting
Here's an unused 3 blade Senator made around 1900 or the early 1900's. About 3" in length, 3 ease outs, pearl scales, milled liners, sunk joints and an absolute top of the line knife from back then.

Re: Ulster Collecting
Very nice Dave but i'm not seeing the "milled liners". Sure you are not just 'gilding the lily' a little ??

Re: Ulster Collecting
Very nicely milled liners. The milling seems to wear flat rather easily so it is only the unused ones that still have the milling crisp.
It looks like a tiny Christmas puppet is stuck between the liners ?? How odd !

I used my piece of float copper to keep the knife upright. What you are seeing is the reflection of the float copper in a badly out of focus blade.
Nice illusion, huh?!?

A pair I kinda didn't realize I had. They go pretty good together.

Re: Ulster Collecting
A junior barehead jack, pre-war for sure and maybe earlier. Slow blades are 'snapping' out of it with doses of Quick Release. The stains on the blades are superficial; the metal is glassy smooth. All steel- no brass or nickel silver. The knife does not appear to have been used, but has gotten a little humid over the decades. The bone is really the crown on this little jewel.
Re: Ulster Collecting
Here's a couple of my recent Ulster additions...
An equal end jack in celluloid with etch, a slim whittler in Fr Ivory and a jr cattle advertising knife

One of my Ulster, fairly new to me! Mint
Older knives are like women, they are beautiful, pricey, and rarely do you find the good ones!

Re: Ulster Collecting
How does this one qualify, it's not all that old. Shrade may have made it, not sure. I don't see many with the script.
