Hello all, I found a knife at my job that I can't ID.

I believe it's an Ulster, but due to pitting in an unfortunate location, there's no way of knowing for sure.

Very well made, very heavy, I'm no expert but I think the blade is an Ulster design.

All help appreciated :)

Hello and welcome,
This may receive more exposure if you post in the "general knife discussion"
Can you post a few more pictures from the top and bottom. Open and closed?
And the closed length?
Thanks

Thanks Keith
It seems that the first 58Ot came out with bone handles.You can tell them they have the Ulster USA on one site of the tang and the number on the other side. They also have some milling on the back of the liners.

I'm reviving this thread with my latest Ulster, I have never seen a folding hunter from Ulster with a saw blade?? Has anyone seen or have one like it? Both blades are marked Ulster Knife Co NY

I like that one! The clip to dress ol' buck and the saw to split his pelvis, good combination ::tu:: !

Here is an old Ulster - tang stamped Ulster Knife Co, Ellenville N.Y. in the small stamp. Great stag, full saber grind, swing guard; probably the second best Ulster I have owned.

Mike and Roger:
Outstanding old hunters, you rarely see that pattern, much less in that condition.

Mike, Thanks for showing the Ellenville.

Mike and Lyle, I appreciate the comments.

I did not know that Ulster made knives for M&G very interesting. Thanks for showing it. I posted this Ulster made knife in another thread but figured I would put it here too in case others have not seen it. It's one of my favorite knives and the workmanship is unbelievable!!
