What’s it worth ?

Post by Knife_man »

I believe it’s a 1940 ish ulster, 3 blade cattle knife, peach seed green bone longpull, has great snap and blades appear to be full, steel liners, pins and bolsters

Welcome!

The bone looks to be in really nice shape. It could be the angle of the picture, but the main blade looks either a little short or has possibly been re-profiled.

Worth is what someone is willing to pay for it. If I saw it at a knife show, I might go $50-75, but probably no more than that.

That's just my opinion. Nice knife!

If there are no cracks in the bone I'd put that one somewhere around $75 - $100. I'd say it's late 1940's to very early 60's or somewhere in between. Not sure exactly what years the Schrade peachseed bone was used on Ulsters.

Thanks for the input, I assumed pre was because of the steel liners pins and bolsters but I’m just guessing, also the bone is chip and crack free

Schrade Cut co was bought by Imperial/Ulster in 1946 so it wouldn't have been made before then, most likely some years after.

Hi Eric, you and I have been through this once before with a similar knife. The OP knife still has the old Ulster mark so I believe it is a war time knife, Were it 50s or 60s it would be stamped Ulster USA without the Knife Co. For some reason Ulster got some peachseed bone from Schrade during the war and only used it on some models. Even late 40s would have the newer Ulster mark.
