A beautiful swell center jack, John, with that large bolster and the small cap.
The Ebony really sets it all off. Nice catch!

upnorth wrote: Sun Nov 04, 2007 10:38 pm I have been a busy boy these last two weeks. Having come into a little cash from an insurance settlement, I decided to spend a small portion on unnecessary pleasures. Since I am happily married, and drink little, knives was the obvious choice (that and a road trip with my wife through New Mexico until the 16th of November)!
Here's the results!
A Schrade Cut Co, an Ulster sleeveboard whittler that used to belong to Michael Mirando, two Schrade Waldens, a Primble congress, and two Keens.
I think these fit with the Ulster thread, because of the Mirando Whittler. I am told The bone is quite an old style. I'm sure it was polished up for display (darn) but the blades reach the ends of their recesses, so I am assuming little or no use. Nice knife in person.
See you guys from the road, or in a couple of weeks!!
Those are some great looking finds! :shock: Can't wait to see what else you find while your out on the road.
