I fished another 114 OT out of the bay yesterday.
What drew me to it in the first place was the look of the covers,,,,,
OK.... humor me a little here.
The cover material doesn't exactly look like delrin....
Maybe its the sellers pictures but the color changes sure have a bone look.
Wishful thinking I'm sure......
ANYWAY.... here it is...

That's a good lookin' knife, Mike. I'm going with delrin. I have a couple of Ulster's that have scales just like that. They are delrin, but a very good version of it. It seems to have crisper jigging than most of my other delrin knives. I hope I'm wrong, but it's a great old knife either way..

Hey, I was wrong once in 1972 I think. I could be wrong again.. When you get it, let us know what you find. BTW, a few of my favorite knives are delrin, and I especially like "rough black" Case and other brand handles. Enjoy that bad boy!

LOL.... yep, I understand. NOW ME.... Last time I was wrong was ...OH.... about 15 minutes ago.....
I mostly collect Old Timers and they USUALLY ALL have delrin covers. SO, I am good with delrin. It's cell that I can't abide....SAD.
Any Old Timers with bone covers are a HUGE plus to me....

I'm with you there. I love Old Timers and Uncle Henry's. Staglon rules!! Here's a batch of my Schrades.Oh, and I'm wrong all the time!
Long shot. Looking for a bale for an Ulster Mountain Corps issue knife. Flat type with "US" stamp on outer curve. Knife is otherwise fair. Thanks. J.O'.

Three spring whittler, first knife I have with the three springs. Still in good condition with pretty descent snap. Thanks for looking.
That is a very interesting knife Bill....
I always like to see those old Ulsters.... is that a Dwight Devine?

I love the shape of the frame and the shield.
