This is the "June 2025 AAPK Monthly Knife Giveaway" pocket knife that ~Q~ sent to me.
I wish to give a big THANK YOU to ~Q~ for this MOST GENEROUS AND THOUGHTFUL ACT.
THANK YOU, ~Q~!! ::handshake::

A few days ago, my trip to the post office produced this pocket knife. It MOST DEFINITELY makes a wonderful addition to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It will probably make its way into my daily carry rotation. It is an ULSTER, two blades, two tang stamps, 3 1/4" closed, long main blade pull, two springs, pocket knife. Both tang stamps are block style. The main blade front tang stamp says, "ULSTER (over) KNIFE (over) CO." The secondary blade front tang stamp says, "ULSTER (over) KNIFE (over) CO." The main blade does have a GOOD half stop. The main blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The main blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD half stop. The secondary blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in EXCELLENT condition. This pocket knife did NOT require cleaning. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Here are the links to the pictures that ~Q~ posted.
They show the swirls in much better detail.

A scarce one here, single blade spey Ulster barlow, nice condition. Pretty sure the tang stamp is just Ulster Knife.Pattern number on tang 121. Anyone have an old Ulster catalog that may show it?

That blade reminds me of a cotton sampler blade.

Gentlemen, I have 14 Ulsters for sale. Go to "Knives for sale or Trade" thread a couple pages down and you'll find them in an "ULSTERS FOR SALE" post I have others too. Thanks. J.O'.
