Monday was an office day all morning, then took my wife to a late lunch and out to see the movie Champions. This Ulster 58OT was all the pocketknife I needed. OH
Ps. Ed, doing my best to keep your thread alive!

2 Quick Questions, Please forgive me.
1) Is the Ulster 58OT a "medium" 34OT size, or a "large" 8OT size?

2) Are all the Ulster Old Timer knives from the RJR Tobacco Promotion?

Camillus-made Schrade, ca 1980 (SCC+ tangstamp).

A new-to-me Old Timer 34OT. Can’t exactly say it’s “like new” with the pitting on the blades, but I don’t think any of them have ever been sharpened.

Nothing to forgive, if we don't talk knives then these forums have no purpose. The Ulster 58OT measures 3-1/4" OAL closed and is a bit smaller than the 34OT (width and length - it fits in between the 108OT & 34OT). They also used the same pattern and produced knives as the SWC MM2 (Minuteman) and the SWC PR2 (Paul Revere) during the 1776-1976 Bicentennial celebration years (and a Liberty Bell version too, but I haven't seen one of them). I think the Ulster 58OT was only a Prince Albert knife, but I cannot say for sure that it was never sold separate from the tobacco promotional.

This one today.

Always liked the Butter/Molasses style handles, yours looks real nice. OH

Thanks, Bruce. It also has the thinnest and sharpest blades of any stockman I've got.

Thank you for the compliment. I consider myself lucky to have it.

Some darn nice stuff in this thread. It saddens me so much that schrade is out of business. I carry a 33OT in my watch pocket rotation.

I miss the old days when a boy would dream of a Christmas blister pack containing a sharpfinger and a 34OT.

I sure do love my handful of old timers.

Another Ulster 58OT that I own, this one was my Pop's (Granddad) and then my Dad's until I took ownership about 12 years ago. Normally this one stays on top of a Prince Albert can in my office, but I noticed that is is getting whitish buildup on the Delrin, so into the pocket it goes for a couple days until pocket carry polishes the Delrin back to normal. OH

Decided to throw this in the pocket today.
