I've never seen an Ulster jumbo scout. Very cool. Just wondering, how big is the knife with the blades closed? Here's another one of mine, etched ULSTER CAMP KNIFE.

Nice knife, Barry. A real treasure.

That sounds about right because the bottle cap was patented by William Painter on February 2, 1892.


I'm rather partial to this bone handle Ulster medium jack I picked up back in February.
