Here is an Ulster folding hunter. That's an Ulster serpentine jack next to it for scale. Only pic I have of the hunter.

[thegreedygulo]

NICE knives Paul M. Are the handles on the folding hunter made of hard rubber? The serpentine jack appears to be ebony best I can tell from the pictures. Great knives!

[Paul M]

Thanks greedy. Both Ulsters are ebony. Ulster used some of the nicest ebony with the tightest grain. You have to use a loop to see that it is wood.

Here is the best scan I have so far. Double click the picture to make it larger. The tang is difficult to read. With my loupe, I can easily make out " ___L C_ty Knife Co, Phoenix, NY.

Mike,

Wow... you know how to take this girl's breath away! (shhhh... don't tell Bret!)

[Bret888]

You always come up with some beauties Mike! I don't know NE knife and I am not home to look it up, but it reminds me of a Northfield we have.

[paulsvintage]

Sweet knives Mike !

[FRJ]

Beautiful knives, Mike.......... as usual.

Bret, I hope you will show us the Northfield when you can.

[Jacknifeben]

I am definately going to move out east, there is no way I can find knives like that in the midwest. Real nice.

[Bret888]

JKB, you already have all the good ones west of the Mississippi!

[Miller Bro's]

Here is an old Schrade.

[Bret888]

Joe, I found pics of the Northfield.

[Bret888]

That is a dandy MB!
One night a couple weeks ago, there was an old black & white western on TV, and a cowboy was helping a girl with something and pulled one of those out and cut something for her, and folded it up and put it in his pocket. This was an old movie, before they were deemed evil weapons, and were still a handy one handed knife.

[Miller Bro's]

Thanks Bret

I sure would like to see that movie

Here are some more folding hunters.........

[Bret888]

You have some rare beauties there.... This site is like a knife show, except you can't finger them.

I wish I had written down that movie title, since my short term memory is pretty sad these days. I am guessing it was on TCM.
