I don't have too many celluloid handled knives but this is my favorite. ULSTER, 3" pen, never used or sharpened. Master blade marked ULSTER/Knife Co./N.Y. and the small blade marked ULSTER/Knife/Co. The handles are irridescent(sp?) and change with the lighting.

Love the "waterfall" handles like yours. Here is a razor with the same type handle material.
Re: Celluloid Handles
No-name knife, looks re-bladed but I bought it (very cheaply) for the handle. Haven't seen this pattern before.

Re: Celluloid Handles
Just updating, I went ahead and sold the "Collection" to a Collector so the knives will be staying together.

H. Boker & Co.'s Improved Cutlery with French ivory celluloid.
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Nice scales there, FRJ.

Re: Celluloid Handles
You saved the best for last Roger, I know I'm a little over a year behind. I really like French ivory.
And tortoise shell too Joe,lovely to view.
Here's a 4 1/4" Aerial Cut I have in another of Roger's threads . A large and unique farmers jack that appeared to start outgassing. Notice the darker "Freckling" appearing on the blades. I got scared and had the handles replaced with ebony.

Re: Celluloid Handles
A couple more I really like. A Remington and a Wostenholm. The most colorful I have is an older Ulster, as Ulsters go.

Re: Celluloid Handles
I picked up this L. F. & C. junior cattleman with what appears to be gold swirl celluloid over the weekend.

Re: Celluloid Handles
Wow Joe... Neat lookin' knife & thanks for bumping up a thread on one of my favorite subjects...
Lyle... super cool lookin' knives... too bad having to rehandle the one... I really like the swirl effect it originally had...
...and that goes for yours as well OC...
... and speaking of favorites... an old (altho it doesn't look like it) Schrade Cut Co stockman:
another old Schrade... this time a jack...
a couple of Schrade butter & molasses including a fishtail button knife...
A NY Knife Co. whittler...
One of their other brands... the Electric Cut Co:
Not sure about this one altho it is definitely some form of plastic, but is totally flat...
NYKC's Wallkill River Works (1928 - 31)...
...and while I don't have any Ulsters with celluloid handles... I do have this Kingston...

Re: Celluloid Handles
Beautiful knives Dan and Ken.
I would have really gotten into collecting cells , but I had three or four that were made in the 70s that went bad and made me anti social , but I still think the survivors are fabulous.
I always ask the question, "Has anyone seen an example of outgassing on a French ivory"? I have only heard of one case, but have never seen one.
Singing46 used to have several.

Re: Celluloid Handles
Nice knives everyone!
Lyle: Nice roosters as usual. The Remington is a killer for sure, but the Aerial Cutlery you had rehandled with ebony completely changed the looks of that knife. In my opinion, it looks WAY better now.

Re: Celluloid Handles
What a great show of knives on this page.
OC, I sure like that little punch on the stockman.
