Does anyone hae a lightly used/full bladed Ulster Number 10 they can share?
I thought mine had suffered ... "significant" ... blade loss over the decades from use.
However, after comparing it to my (offshore) Old Timer 280OT, I am not so sure ... maybe it has little to no blade loss, so I can carry it much more often, without fear of making it resemble a toothpick. (IMHO such blades have just got to be suffering and in a lot of pain.
)
If your Ulster Number 10 is a (now) rare high value lightly used in excellent "WOW!!!" condition with full blades, does your clip have more belly and is wider spine to edge than mine? I am pretty sure the Pen blade on my Number 10 has shrunk between 1/16 ~ 1/8 inch, the pervious owner(s) using the pen blade more often ... or at least cutting abrasive materials more often with that blade.
My 280OT is basically uncarried. I might have toted it for a week when I got it about 3 years ago, mid 2020. If memory serves, I bought it using a little of the $1400 (then) "Unker Donny" sent everyone. I am pretty sure It wasn't bought with any of the money "Unker Joey" sent out.
It wasn't carried in 2021 (that I recall), 2022, or to date in 2023.
The blade profiles look mighty similar, which makes my question if my Number 10 has suffered blade loss, after all.
What do you think? Should I add it to my safe/can carry list?

Pictures of your Ulster Number 10, Number 11, and (ultra rare) Number 12 Barlows are welcome, of course.
