"Old Knives"

[veitsi_poika]

Nice!!! I wonder if it was Official BSA????

Hi all... it's my yearly pop-in LoL

Ulster did have a two blade official BSA knife, it was BSA #1504 and Ulster pattern number 243L5. I'm pretty sure it has the standard Ulster Boy Scout of America blade etch and shield. They are REALLY rare... as rare as the Mother of Pearl one that I'm still searching for I've only seen an old advertisement that showed the two blade BSA #1504 and Ulster also had a three blade junior size (3-3/8" long) that was BSA #1513.

Hi Charlie... unfortunately, the website that used to have a great collection of all the BSA knives is not operational anymore but I did find this one just now and it does show a picture of an Ulster 2-blade that looks to be a "beer jack"

Hey, Kevin!

Thanks R8Shell A fellow member of The Porch gave me the opportunity to add that one to my collection a couple years ago but I can't say who it was... "Scout's Honor" I actually landed another one last year and will post pictures tomorrow

My example of the Remington RS3333...



I know Remington made a special Boy Scout "Be Prepared" emblem on their iconic acorn shield for the BSA knives that included punches too; I imagine those were earlier ones and later, to stay competitive, they made the round shield.

So cool, thanks for showing!

veitsi_poika those knives with the spike are cool looking knives,but that can be said also about your scout collection as well.

Here’s another one that’s different. Goulding & Co New York, surgical and Bowie knife maker, 1850’s. Nail pulls go through the tangs and 8 blades. I’m really happy with this one

 

[Mike Robuck]

Very cool Mike!

 

[galvanic1882]

Thanks Mike, it’s really a well made knife

Would those unique blade profiles be for surgical or physician tasks? Bloodletting maybe?
