Aaah ok, great! so my friend, what are your thoughts on the U.S Military / Civilian patterns on these? the 10th division and others that had the Bails had U.S stamped on the Bail as well, but with ours, there is no Bail of course, but I could almost lay money on it that your Bolster Thread line would be as untidy - could you check that please Sir, I remember doing a comparison on line some time ago- in fact there were about a dozen or so in a box that the seller came across, and they all had the same untidy Lines ( Because of the Pin placement & work)..

Mine has a bail but does not have threaded bolsters

L lambertiana , Ok, so, yours is like my other Ulster, it has the same Silver Nickle Bolsters with no Thread, yet mine has no Bail - yours has a different Bail compared to the 10th Division and Mountain Ski- but with Ulster there would have been such an abundance of mix and matching once the Govt. supply for the armed forces was used up, and then perhaps there was a few different combinations to the smaller degree for Civilian sales?
My knife that is similar to yours, but this one does not have the Liner Lock like yours.

So My OP, has Threaded Bolsters, No Bail, but with a Liner Lock Punch and no screw driver. Stamping of Forged USA.
My other Knife has plain Bolsters, a Phillips Screw driver, No Bail and no Liner Lock Punch. Stamping of ULSTER, KNIFE, Co.

Thank you for posting yours my friend 👍

P&G - Awesome mix of Ulsters 😍
 
Did ulster and electric knife company share the same patters and bone cover suppliers,as well as remington in the early years.
 
Hey Oldy :)- There is so much contracting that Cutlery companies did for other Cutlery companies- also as you say the supply of such goods- I wish I could find paper work- such as Ulster Billing Camillus - vise versa etc, I think most of us would like to find this as confirmation to a lot of questions asked.

I have an older Electric Harness Jack Knife - but it is the older Electric Cut Co,Newark N.J so that all ended for them around 1920 ( so I read- this is not coming straight from my memory bank- that's been empty for a long, long time 🤣 ) So Electric was New York Knife after this period?

Mike, that is certainly not the worst Ulster to have :eek:, Wow- what a stunner my friend!
 
Here's a dandy little Ulster I picked up at a knife show recently. What really intrigued me was the small blade end of the knife. Usually on these types of knives with a single spring, I see a catch-bit on the small blade to compensate for the spring thickness. However on this one there is no catch-bit. Instead, the blade tang is extra thick, so it's like a built-in catch-bit. I'm not sure I've really seen this type of construction on any other knife, but maybe I'm not looking closely enough at them...

Glenn that's an amazing piece! I've seen offset grinds that stop at the shoulder but don't think I've ever seen one that went into the tang like that. That's some amazing execution on keeping a knife thin and construction simple. Does the spring taper or is the tang on the pen blade a similar thickness? Also intrigued by those beautiful handles. Are they ebony? Sure don't look like cocobolo.

I don't know what the handles are, but they do look like some kind of wood. The seller said they were horn, but it didn't look like horn to me.

The main blade is the same thickness as the spring, but it does look like the pile side has been ground at a taper to allow the small blade to fit.

Here's another Ulster I picked up. This one was a bit more of a humpty, but for $10, how could I pass it up. It was a rusty pitty mess, but I cleaned it up some, reground the blades, and put an edge on them. A decent buffing on the MOP, and she's ready for the pocket...
