Paul T,
I just have to say that your Ulster is outrageously beautiful. Hope to find something that beautiful one day. Thanks for sharing!!

Paul, that Ulster is a beautiful knife, great bone.
Went to a small local knife show today and picked up a 1/2 dozen or so interesting knives. one is a Wards stag handled cattle knife, most early Wards were made by Winchester. Knife is well worn but still has great snap and no play, the stag is very well done, bolster to bolster, sure wish they fitted stag like this today. Early American made stag knives are not common so I was a little surprised to stumble upon this one.

Catching up on my forum reading and what a way to start! A real beauty in my book. What is the significance of the blade etch? I get confused when I try to remember what company did what and who was bought and sold, contract knives, etc.
