All About Pocket Knives

upnorth, check thisin out.

That Maher & Grosh is a beautiful knife. Simple lines. Functional. Nice green bone.
Charlie Noyes

ditto on that Maher & Grosh
Here are my 2 remaining Ulsters, sort of a Beauty and the Beast theme. The smaller 3 5/8" serpentine jack has sunken joints which is a nice touch.

Paul, that little one is really a neat knife!!!!

Thanks galvanic1882, that particular design really benefits from the ebony scales. keeps the lines flowing.

Just added this pair of Ulster 47's with their Original Display Card to my collection

Is it an Ulster or an Utica?

I don't think Ulsters were ever made in Utica.

The scratch is on the bed of my scanner, not the blade.

Another dumb question... but are the handle badges hard to find for this knife? I'm thinking about buying one. Thought it was a boker at first with that round hole, then got excited and thought it was one of the WWII "scout"knives. But it still might be worth buying. It just seems I can't find anyting with the shield still in it.

Thanks,
Danny

This is a small Ulster I picked up at a local flea market for $7.50. It's 2 5/8 in closed and it took an edge.

Danny,

Those shields are not hard to locate. You can usually find several of them for sale at any given time on ebay......but they will normally be attached to the knife. That Ulster USA official Boy Scout knife as shown in the photo is about the most common listing on ebay for Boy Scout knives. With so many readily available that are in fully intact condition and with them selling for modest amounts, I wouldn't bother buying one without the shield then trying to run down a shileld to fit it. Now if you already own the knife without the shield that's another matter.

Thanks Phil,

I've been looking around, what I should have done to start with, and that is some sound advice. There is a load of them for sale.

Thanks,

Some of my Ulsters

I REALLY like the one in picture #3!!!

Mostly because the little blade is in front! I just think a knife is better that way!

Can I play?

My Ulster Scout Knife.

Nice ones Hal.
That swell center in the forth pic; do you know the model number?
I have seen the Ulster swell center like the Camillus #72, but not a penknife version.
Is that MOP or celluloid?

'Tis a beauty!

Here is an Ulster 63, which is the same as the Camillus 72, without the match-strike pull.

So, I see Ulster used the "Old Timer" moniker long before Schrade did? I guess it shouldn't surprise me considering the lineage.
-Bruce

Actually Schrade & Ulster was owned by Albert Baer at that time.
He bought Ulster in 1941 & Schrade Cut Co in 1946. The Old Timer line was started in 1959, and the Ulster Old Timer was made circa the late 1960’s by Schrade Walden.

Sort of like Chrysler buying AMC and then making Jeeps in a Chrysler plant.

TJ-
I found one of those #63s recently too.

Here is one I found at the OKCA mini-show last week.
It may end up in my store, but I have not decided yet.

Here's my Ulster 1996 Scout
