[Campbellclanman]

Whoaaa !!!!
THAT!!!! is superrrrrrrrb!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Dave that would go nicely with the very cool and awesome Ka-Bar you picked up at 2016 Rendezvous At Toms table - whew that was an outstanding Ka-Bar folder!

 

[black mamba]

Amazing knife, Charlie, it definitely deserves to be at the top of a page!

Outstanding Charlie!!! very unique Duncan, buy that from Charlie for me for Christmas

 

[waynorth]

Hey, Paul!! Not being an FB guy, I'd sell it to Duncan in a heartbeat, but Tony Bose got here first!! He bought it for a dear friend of his who completed a Ka-Bar collection with it!! Apparently it's a pretty rare knife!! And it has the original sheath!!
Drama in the world of collectors!!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Charlie - you heard Paul, Please send me your PayPal account

Edit; First time in ones life that I think bad of Tony Bose!

 

[waynorth]

I would, Duncan!! I'm sorry!!

Hmmmmm, Paul or Tony, Paul or Tony???

 

[waynorth]

You are both dear friends Paul!! You get the next one I find!!!

 

[Campbellclanman]

lol. Charlie I think its great seeing you mention these names of who got what Knife etc, and for Tony to grab that knife off you is a kinda cool story- and by the way how could anyone think bad of the Big Boss!

I think Paul should be skinned alive for me saying that!

Charlie- I think Paul should get nothing, now of course I don't say this out of mere Jealousy or Spite - it's just.... well it's simply...... it's....ok, ok ....... Darn it! it Jealousy - all right !!!!

I am going to behave like a grown up now......

Duncan =
Paul =

I really enjoy your pictures of your Centenarians my friend . How many do you believe that you have now ???? I do not believe that I would epoxy in the missing piece either , therefore it stays Original as Received . Carry it in good health r8shell .

Harry

Thank you, Harry. I have about a dozen Centenarians, at least that I'm sure of.

Top of the page material, indeed!

You are both dear friends Paul!! You get the next one I find!!!

Heck, I would've chosen Tony
I promise knife content soon as Duncan veered far off track I'll try and convince Gary and Frank to only assess an infraction vs TOTAL BANISHMENT

Alright, I'll try and bring this back on track and what better way to that but with dark ebony clad Jacks I picked these up last week from a great forum member here and contributor, Nick, aka kai76 I couldn't resist these two. Both very solid knives. Ulster serpentine Jack and an Empire Winsted Co Jack. Great shields, federal on the Ulster and cool Bar shield on the Empire.
The Ulster stamp:
ULSTER
KNIFE CO
and The Empire:
EMPIRE
WINSTED
CT
Honestly I have general history on both but find narrowing down specific dates is a bit harder?

Great blade etch on the Ulster

Great Empire thread right here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/empire-knife-company-research.438398/
