I have several civilian electricians knives in my collection along with a few stamped TL-29 govt issues. I got one yesterday and as I was getting ready to tag it and put away something seemed kind of strange.
It’s an Ulster marked
Ulster
Knife
Co.
I got one of my WW2 era TLs just to compare. Now this one happens to be a Camillus with the 4 line stamp.
What I noticed was. The recently acquired Ulster is smaller. Shorter. Shorter blade. And shorter bolster. Both have fairly full blades. Both have no brass. Even the screwdriver blade lock is steel.
I did a little research and found that these things were used by the Signal Corp as far back as WW1. I also read those were smaller than the WW2 and more modern civilian models.
First was the information I read true? And if not why is this one smaller?
We also have a WW2 Ulster marked Ulster Knife USA. It too is larger.
If I’ve overlooked this in here I apologize.
But I’m curious exactly what I’ve got.
Probably nothing. Lol. But hey I’d like to know.
Thanks in advance.
