Ulster knife co date help

This seems to be redundant from what I can see and I apologize for that. I'm from Ulster County, Ny and want to get into collecting these guys. I picked up my first Ulster knife as I was drawn to the square looking sheeps foot blade. I know it's a Navy or rope style knife but I can't figure out what time period it's from.

The tang reads: "ULSTER/KNIFE/CO" all caps.
It's got wooden cocobolo scales
7 1/2 inches open
3 1/2 inch blade length
4 inches closed
Has the lanyard loop
Huge snap when it opens

I'm going to try to upload pictures:

Any help would be so much appreciated. I know these are tricky so just looking to get a round about idea of time period.

I'd love the idea of leaving the knife patina the way it is but sharpening it with my KME sharpening system and trying to add this to my working knife rotation. I really do appreciate it's blade shape.

Generally speaking, that tang stamp suggests an Ulster made before 1941. This is not set in stone but it is usually correct.
