It's a TAD Dauntless (I personally can't tell if it's real or fake)

Dauntless MK1 I believe. Looks legit to me, although I'm no expert. No help on the Ulster.

Very nice TAD Gear Dauntless. I'd link you, but it's against the rules. It looks like an MK3, to me.

Very nice old Ulster in a neat pattern. Unfortunately, it looks like somebody buffed the crap out of it. I'd sharpen it up and use it--KV

Thanks guys. I buffed the ulster it looked like garbage couldnt read the stamp before. The other knife has big bronze bushings most fakes iv seen have nylon ,so hopefully its real.

There are other ways to clean up those old knives if you find another one.--KV

I like that Ulster dogleg. That tang stamp was used 1876-1941.
