Out of the Blue!!

Didn't expect it at all. Peruna1998 asked for my address, but I never thought he would send me such a gift! Much more than a token, this is a brilliant knife, enough to make a grizzled, old, cynical collector shed a tear or two!
Stamped "Made in U.S.A.", and etched "trade ULSTER mark", maybe someone can date it for me? Wartime?

Faded dye on the Rogers-style jigging at the mark side (front), possibly from being on display, the pile side is a nice dark brown, and the blades are full! Nice and snappy, it is a joy to CE and CF!!

Thanks Wayne!! You are most generous!!:thumbup:

Fantastic bone on that one, don't mind the lighter colour either Given the general appearance of the knife, very little use, I think you must be right about it being grilled in the sun, sunny side up....

Very kind act.

Thanks, Will
