Ulster 50 Jack 3 1/4" closed
Matched handles, clip point and pen

Nice knife, from the early to mid 1950's. I think it would look better with a shield.

Very nice knife indeed, but I have to ask (Since this is the Schrade forum) is Ulster related to Schrade? :)

1871: The Ellenville Co-Operative Knife Co. sets up shop in the old Ellenville Iron Works, also known as the Bloomer Foundry on Canal Street. In 1875, the company reorganized as the Ulster Knife Co.

1890s: Hundreds are employed in the knife-making business in Ellenville, 700 people alone at New York Knife. Payroll records show earnings of $4 to $6 a week.

1904: The Schrade brothers bring a third knife-making company to Walden. The workers provide their own tools and are issued the materials for their knives each week.

1911: New York Knife produces the first official Boy Scout Knife.

1916: Imperial Knife Company is established in Providence, R.I.1941: Ulster Knife is sold to a group headed by Albert and Henry Baer of New York City.

1942: Ulster Knife and Imperial Knife join to become Imperial Knife Associated Companies. The company commits itself to producing knives for the military
throughout World War II.

1946: Baer buys Schrade Cutlery Company in and renames it the Schrade Walden Cutlery Corp. It becomes a division of Imperial Knife.

1958: The Schrade Walden division moves from Walden to Ellenville.


To this day, former Schrade workers occupy the old Ulster plant on Canal Street and make Canal Street Cutlery knives.

Here is my latest Schrade.
Half of a X48S set, circa 1971. I have a 147S to match it, just need the sheath for the knife that will clip on the hatchet sheath. It came with the hatchet sheath. No stamping on the hatchet.

Here are the pics of the sheath. It is in surprisingly good condition.

First one of those I've seen for a while. I dont think the 879 is very common. Very nice. I really like the round threaded bolsters.
 
Hi guys - the thing about the 879 I find cool is that long swedge over the nail nick on the clip blade.
I believe this detail was somewhat unique to the individual knifemaker?
Schrade Hand Made - Hell of a job!

I have been looking for a large folding hunter for a while and found on on the bay that looked like it needed some work. i bid and bought it and I got it on Friday. Took a bit to figure out where to start but spent a couple of hours yesterday finding where the knife was under the rust.

I don't post here much lately but if you've been around for awhile, you'll know i'm a big LB7 fan. I have about 30 ? So i don't need another, but i couldn't pass up a first year (1978 ?, i think) serial# 160620, N.I.B. papers & sheath which ended up costing me $34.
Good deals like this is why i have so many. Even forgetting collectibility, $34 for new, big, strong, user knife & sheath, made in U.S.A. is a deal. So, i don't "get it".

Roland, If they started the serial from knife 1 1978 is correct :-)
Below are the production counts for the 1st 2 years.

1977 LB-7 (107) 17,693
1978 LB-7 (107) 179,999
Great knife, I have a few. Like rabbits, they just keep increasing in the display.
