Well of course I had to search it up after being told not to! Lol. Thanks for adding that nugget to the conversation - it really throws an ominous tone on the term ‘gaff knife.’

Here's an Ulster stabber jack. 3 5/8 closed. The last one is with a Conn. Cutlery stabber jack.

And here's a 3-1/2” celluloid Ulster cattle salesman's knife. Number MK 35UK on back side. It's from a display board that was part of the Schrade factory collection.

Very nice thanks for sharing!!

Some nice Ulsters OE. Really like the Cattle knife

Mike,that Ulster Stabber Jack is sweet! The cattle knife ain't bad either

Thanks Bill, David and Roger.

Great knives Mike! You sure have some beauties!

Awesome Ulster Mike ... I like your taste in knives ... In fact that Conn Cut Stabber Jack that is right up my alley has me ... Sweet!!!

Thanks Galvanic. I can say the same for you but times 10 for your collection! Lee, I like your taste in knives as well!

I like Stabber Jacks ! The full saber grind makes for a more interesting knife. The Cattle knife is more recent than the jacks. Do you think Schrade-Walden might have made this Cattle knife ?

Thanks Roland. More like Schrade/Ulster in Ellenville since it does look like a newer knife. Only the main blade is stamped, hardly any swedges, etc.
I do have an Ellenville Knife Co. cattle knife that I'll post at some point.

Here is a 2 5/8" Ulster Knife Co. 3 blade senator. Very sweet knife, at least 80 years old. Senator is my favorite pattern.

Sweet and minty Roland.

Thanks Mike, but really you are the Ulster King. My offerings are more humble but i appreciate your compliment.

That's a beauty Roland, and those minty scouts you posted are great also.

Roland, I'm far from being the Ulster king since I can count my entire Ulster collection on one hand. I do enjoy your posts, the questions you ask and the pictures of the knives in your collection. I wish I could handle half as many as you have.

That is a great stabber jack, Mike! Beautiful senator, Roland!

Thanks Dan.

Roland... classic traditional looking old knife... really luv the bone on that one!
Mike... would really like to see your Ellenville Knife Co. cattle knife. I have not come across that one before...

Here's an 80 to 90 year old Dwight Devine & Sons' Ulster equal end cattle knife with MoP handles I just picked up at an antique show at the Warren County, NJ fairgrounds at the end of last month. The dealer had a bunch of pocket knives in a box & I picked out 3 (including this one with a sticker price of $12). She said she would take $20 for all three. The other two were a Kingston & a Wardlow Cutlery / Walden... but I've been carrying this on around in my pocket ever since... as it still has a great edge to all 3 blades

Its stamped with the pattern №. 33487 on the pile side of the main blade.

Ulster Dwight Divine & Sons that I picked up from ebay recently. Nice old knife.

Nice Paul!

That's a beauty Paul, hard to beat a nice ebony jack.

That's a great looking jack and the condition makes it!!

Here is a horn handled whittler I just got, love horn handles.

Nice Ulster Paul. Mike that is a great find. Like the double pull and the horn. The pattern is very cool. Lots to like. Congrats.
