Another classy, classic ebony knife. :thumbsup:
I'm a little jealous looking at all the pictures of autumn leaves. I don't miss northern winters, but I do miss the Fall colors. :cool:

Today's carry, keeping it simple, light, and slim.

Beautiful knives, as always, folks.

Among a few other knives, I was carrying this Ulster Jack that is still a bit of mystery to me.

The tang stamp (Ulster OVER Knife Co OVER NY) dates it between 1876 (!) and 1941, so there's a chance that's it's my oldest knife, but the wonky shield makes me think it's been rehandled (not that that is a bad thing) The wear on the Rosewood or Cocobolo handles is enough to seem really old, though. I don't know this knife's story, but I wish I did! Maybe it was rehandled in '60s and carried for the next 50 years. Maybe it was botched at the factory. Maybe someone faked the whole thing to make a quick buck. Who knows? I really dig it. That's all I know.

Bring that sucker to a high polish and it would disappear in a picture like that!

Yes, I really like the way it looks like a phantom knife in that picture. :) It's gained some patina since then.

Crackin up some hickory nuts for pancakes this morning.

As a side note, I’ve never seen a crop of hickories, walnuts, and acorns as this year. The squirrels can’t keep up. Since September, I’ve picked up over 30 gallons of hickory nuts. Most are getting planted/scattered, but I culled out some of the fat ones for eating.

I believe that is a sign it’s going to be a harsh winter.

Going by that picture, the handle scale looks like it is original. But I wonder how that shield made it out of the factory if it is the original scale.
