Hi Rick, and welcome to the forum. I would need a picture of the knife to be able to tell you what it is.

Welcome aboard Rick.

It is hard to tell without seeing a picture.
If you can post a picture, we can probably tell you what you have.

Thanks so much!!!!! I have misplaced my camera gotta get a new one.....lol.......I will post pics.....it is a twin to the 580 but just says Ulster USA...Same knife.......Thanks again I am just starting to collect old USA knives and trying to learn....will try to not ask too many questions.

Again Thanks!!!
Rick

::welcome::to the forum Rick! You've come across a great place to learn and share info related to knife collecting! I hope your experiences wil be positive and enhancing. Rocky

WELCOME!

Rich day. Welcome to AAPK .The Ulster 580 I have has Ulster USA on one side and 580 on the other has bone handles The later 580 had Ulster USA 580 on the one side and has Delrin handles.Ulster also made knives for Imperial and Primble (934 ) using the same pattern .From the top down 580 bone ,580 delrin ,Imperial and Primble 934

Thanks so much.....Mine is like your bottom one.....but it has no numbers just Ulster USA on blade..... And Old Timer emblem on handle. No numbers anywhere. This is what I dont understand.
Thanks Again!

On some of the Ulster they just missed putting model stamps on the blades.

Thank You very much!
Does this make them more valueable?
Rick

It's only what someone is willing to pay.There is a few of the 580 turn up on Ebay and it depends on the condition of the knife.

Some of them have no tang stamps at all!

Thanks everyone for your time and info.......has been a great help! I'm sure I will have many more as I begin to try to learn old USA knives.
Thanks again!!!
Rick

Some of these were part of a Prince Albert tobacco promotion. There are those on this and a certain other Schrade forum who have posted many many times on this subject and on variations of this knife.

I have one like that with Ulster USA on the front of the blade with no 58OT on the back or front. The oldest ones have bone handles, milled liners, and 580 T on the back of the blade.







I need an excuse to show this one off every now and then.

Nice variety Shearer!
