This pocket knife arrived very recently in a group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I did NOT purchase the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, it did turn out to be a keeper. It is an ULSTER, two blades, one tang stamp, 2 7/8" closed, pocket knife. The main blade tang stamp reads "ULSTER - KNIFE U.S.A." Overall, it is in GOOD condition.
It needed some minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Hard to believe no Ulster posts since July. Found an unusual Ulster Knife Co sheepsfoot jack, 3 3/8", ebony, curved frame and the sheepsfoot blade is a saber grind. I'm thinking of all my sheepsfoot jacks this is the only one with a saber grind.
Nice unmolested condition with close to full blades.

Here's maybe a 50's era 3-7/8" Stockman. It was a wreck, rusty, no scales. I re-handled it in wild cherry and it's a really nice and solid EDC. J.O'
