Here’s a well-preserved example of an early Ulster Knife Co. pocketknife, made in New York before the company merged into Imperial Schrade. This is a traditional jack knife pattern with a spear blade and a punch blade, commonly used for utility, rope work, or electrician tasks.

• Manufacturer: Ulster Knife Co. – New York, USA

• Tang Stamp: “ULSTER KNIFE CO. / NEW YORK” on the spear blade

• Blades:

   

  • 2.5” spear point main blade

  • 2” punch/awl blade

   

• Closed Length: 3½ inches

• Open Length: Approx. 6 inches

• Handle Scales: Smooth hardwood, likely ebony, showing even age wear

• Shield: Nickel silver badge-style inlay

• Bolsters: Nickel silver

• Condition:

   

  • Blades show age-appropriate patina and sharpening marks but are full and functional

  • Both blades open and close with decent snap

  • Wood scales are tight and solid, no cracks

  • Bolsters and pins show honest handling wear

  • Shield intact, overall solid structure

   

This Ulster is a great example of early American utility cutlery, likely made in the early 1900s. The punch blade adds both function and collectibility, and the original wood scales give it that classic, working-tool look. Great addition to a vintage EDC collection, jack knife roll, or Ulster-focused lineup.
