Ray, that's almost a bit of an understatement. Almost any one of those would have me dancing off the ceiling. Nice work. Hope you didn't have to refinance anything. ____Dave

Those are some really nice knives. Congratulations

Dave,It could well be ivory.I`ve had a few Ulsters that were.Do you see any pores in it?djknife13 wrote:The grain really does look like ivory and I thought Ulster did use some but I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell the difference. The one side doesn't show much grain and looks like plain old smooth bone with no character but the other side really does look more like the few ivory knives I do have. I can't see any of the telltale pores that suppose to indicate bone. Thanks Paul. ____DaveKnifeSlinger#81 wrote:Very nice ulsters.

The blades look nearly full, snap is near perfect and the handles are like new. The white one, smooth bone I think (not celluloid) has a nice grain to it that resembles ivory. I really like the long pull and long swedges on the blades.____Dave

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Roger, I looked at the edges with the lighted pocket 45 power pocket microscope and there are no pores visible but the scales taper to the edges so no end grain really shows. I'm going to bring it to the Janesville show and get a consciences from smarter people than me. When I bought it I kind of figured it was ivory but I haven't had enough exposure or experience to tell for sure. It's such a classy knife with the long pull and long swedges on all three blades that I like it no matter what material it's covered with. Thanks for your input. ____Davepeanut740 wrote:Dave,It could well be ivory.I`ve had a few Ulsters that were.Do you see any pores in it?djknife13 wrote:The grain really does look like ivory and I thought Ulster did use some but I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell the difference.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Scott, when I worked at NCR the first time, I carried a pair of pliers like that in my tool kit. They are parallel jaw pliers but we called them by their brand name "Bernand" pliers. Several companies made them, Sargent, Boker and Utica for the short list. Like any other tool, they could be used for what ever purpose you desired but originally they were designed for the mechanical world. I have no idea if those are original to the kit.

The knife, sheath and pliers all have Sargent stamped on them.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Sargent bought out Bernard's patent but Bernard continued to work for them. All pieces stamped the same, more than likely an original set. Having worked with them, to me, it's a strange combination but then I am far from knowing everything.
I see the sheath is stamped "Sport Set" so I see what you're saying about being sold for outdoor use (hunting / fishing). Pliers would have been handy when skinning catfish.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Here are the new acquisitions from an active weekend. Not shown are a couple of fast movers. One was a Case Texas Lockhorn with stag handles. It had some use but pretty much flew outta there. Also a Case Blade Changer that wasn't mint but had never been used. Both were fast sellers.
One question about the Case XX fixed blade that may be a life raft survival tool. It is not one of the folding knives that are seen fairly often but more like a bolo or such? 1st one I have ever seen. I looked thru LG4 and couldn't find it so will appreciate any help as to ID, value and such?
