Dang, Roger!
You need to quit messing around with posting 1 or 2 common old knives, and start living by the saying, "Go big, or go home". ::rotflol::

Gonna be looking at these for a while, not sure which I like best.

A pair of Ulster Jack Knives that were posted in the Ulster thread a few years back. They belong here as well.
Both are 3 1/16" closed. The pearl has brass liners with nickel silver bolsters, and the bone one has steel liners and bolsters.

And one more Ulster.
With a group shot of the booty from the Keystone Club knife show in Lewisberg, PA. back in 2018 or 2019.
I know the KA-BAR is not etched, but it is still worthy of this thread.
