How do you know that the Ulster Knife Co. 4 blade Utility knife is a BSA knife ? Is there still some of an etch visible ? Or ??

Added a couple more Ulsters this week, a pretty decent 3 1/2" bare end jack with rat tail bolster and a small slim Stockman 3 1/4". Found remnants of an etch when cleaning gunk off the jack.

You're a busy knife guy John. Excellent knives, I used to carry stockmans because of their blade versatility.

Speaking of Ulsters, a little rerun:

LOL... I just love seeing those tang stamps!
Even though "knife" was misspelled, they had to use it!
