Ulster Knife Co has a very interesting history. They were finally taken over by Schrade in the 50's if I recall correctly.

I've got a couple of old Ulsters, I think. I KNOW I've got a 10th Mtn Div knife.


Tang stamp is different as this was made in WWII


FYI, the WWII 10th Mtn Div later became the US Army Special Forces.

This knife had a Phillips screw driver blade so the boys cold tighten and loosen their ski bindings. They're kind of scarce these days, but you still see enough of them on ebay that I wouldn't exactly think of them as "rare".

Neat knife Wullie!! Love seeing old military knives. They're always so interesting. Thanks for those pics guys, really neat stuff.
