I'm going to print them, cut a few out and send in an order. I need one of those tough sourdough knives. Maybe an Old Grizzly or two.

Thanks Joel

I thought they were talking about french bread in that ad...

Alaska sourdough (or simply sourdough) is a colloquial title for an Alaskan "old-timer."

The term originated during the Klondike Gold Rush when settlers began to flood into Alaska.[1] Due to the limited availability of leavening in the remote bush of Alaska, settlers made their bread using a sourdough starter which uses flour, water, and sugar to naturally collect yeast from the air.[1] The use and consumption of this bread was so widespread that these settlers began to be known as "sourdoughs."[1]

In modern usage, the term "sourdough" can be applied to any old-timer in the state.[2]

This term is also used within Canada's Yukon territory to refer to permanent residents of the territory, sometimes defined as persons who have lived in the Yukon during all four seasons.

Sourdough created by these Alaskans did not use eggs or milk. Resources like this were far too hard to come across when traveling in such a rugged environment. The only type of eggs that Pioneer Alaskans ever saw were "Chinese Eggs" or "Cold storage eggs," and their strong flavor instantly dismissed the thought of using eggs to create their sourdough. Instead, a teaspoon of baking soda would be added to the batch of starter. Sourdough was a popular dish for the Yukons because of the high protein content in the fermented dough, so it became a valuable food source, worth more than gold or canned food.

Sourdough Pancakes of Alaska
Originating in a Alaska, this recipe was popular in the late 1800s, when a sourdough starter was the common and reliable way to provide leavening for bread products. Preparation begins the night before.

1 cup sourdough starter (see recipe)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup warm water
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1. Place the sourdough starter in a nonreactive mixing bowl, add the flour and water. Stir and leave, loosely covered, overnight in a warm place.
2. The following morning, stir the mixture and remove 1 cup, adding it to your sourdough starter in the refrigerator.
3. To the warm sourdough mixture, add remaining ingredients, stirring well.
4. For each pancake, pour scant 1/4 cup batter onto a hot griddle. Cook pancakes until dry around edges. Turn and cook other sides until lightly golden brown.

Makes 2 servings.

From the 1949-50 Fall-Winter Sears catalog, #9467 was an Ulster 115.

And the #9513 was a... (you tell me!)

The #9470 was an Ulster 98 4" three blade Stockman

If you think I got one of these wrong, just say so! And... show me yours!
 
This looks suspiciously like a Craftsman #9513

I'm sure all the prices shown above are relative to todays prices, they well worth seeing though, I bet the folks who were buying knives back in the forties would never of dreamed how much knives would sell for these days. I really enjoy seeing these old adverts.

You can't beat the stuff. When I lived in Wyoming in the late 70's (wish I would have bought knives back then, the place was crawling with knives), there used to be a log place in Jackson Hole, Jedediah's House of Sourdough. The best breakfast place in Wyoming, bar none. The waffles were legendary. Blueberry pancakes that would knock your socks off.

Now I have to go Google... Yep. It's still there. Still touting the Blueberry Sourjacks. Cool.

Now I'm hungry. Thanks a lot Trent.
