I really like horn handles - both dark horn and honey horn. ::tu::

Hey now, that's a nice looking knife. At first glance, it looks like a GEC. I like that one. ::nod::

Nice pick up Joe. Wonder who made it?
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Thanks for the nice comments, guys. Much appreciated.

Wayne, It would be nice to know who made this knife.
Some tell tale jigged bone would help but I sure would hate to lose the horn covers. :D
Might someone offer a guess. Is the unique bolster a clue?
It is very well made and has strong springs. Both blades have half stops.

Joe, That's a beauty. I believe it is an Ulster made knife. I have a pair of Ulsters of the same pattern 3 1/16" closed. Same shields, bolsters and pin placement. I'm sure Ulster used horn, and we know they did plenty of contract work. Thanks for sharing, Barry

Thank you, Barry, and thank you for identifying the maker as Ulster. I think you pegged it with those beautiful knives of yours.
That is a beautiful pair of knives but no surprise coming from you. Great photos too. ::tu::
