Ulster 40 refurb is complete....not exactly good as new but brought back from it's decay. Inside was rusting, the blades took some time, minor pitting now... overall a successful clean up!
Brass liners and pins, solid nickel silver bolsters and shield, no play, good snap and I'm still researching but believe it to be late 50's early 60's ...still digging but Ulster (over) Knife USA (one line) was used after the sale of the company in 1941, dropping the "Co. " in Knife Co. and then later going to just Ulster over U.S.A
The handles (I'm wishing) to be bone, but probably Ulster's Bonite material... jury is still out on that one. Thanks for letting me share it with y'all

I had an old knife I must have put up wet because it was well pitted when I found it again. I tried cleaning it up but wasn't pleased. I put a good edge back on it and started whittling with it. It soon looked darn good again. Have you ever tried that with any of your restorations? I was kinda surprised myself that I was able to wear the pitting off the usable part of the blades.
Definitely an ugly one Randall!
... I do love a challenge :laugh:
No way Randall! I would have never thought it would have cleaned up that nice! Looks good!!! :good: :LooksGreat:
