Thank you Kerry.🍻
I'll guess that you paid slightly more than $2.00 for your pocket knife.
The matchbook is perfectly safe from being used. ::tu::
Yep. I'm thinking I paid at least 15 times that!

I got the matchbook....

I got it to go with my PA cans for the "send in offer". The only PA can I can't find is the one with the imperial offer.

I have several of the knives.....

Thanks everyone!

I will TRY.... LOL... to remember and bring my others to work and update my group shot with the can and wrapper.

Here is my older (4 or 5 years) group shot.......
(I tried to pose the knives like they were shown on the can.... :D )

grouped_2.JPG

The blades on the 58OT are over sharpened (enter my new addition!! :D ), the bale is missing on the 114OT.

Here is a shot of the 114OT that is the NEW group leader. It has a longer bail. I thought that was unusual and cool.....

114OT_13.JPG

I think this is the 10OT that belongs in the new group shot. I will have to check my pile to see if this is the best one.

What does your Prince Albert group look like?

Don't y'all have a nice group shot to show off?

Let's see 'em!!!!

I picked this dog leg up at the small Shenandoah Valley show earlier this year for $40. Not perfect but a great EDC. Nice weight, 3 5/8", Ebony, half-stops, swedged, long pull and that classic frame shape.

It trips my trigger. ::tu:: ::tu::

Nice group!!

Until someone tries to put that group together, they don't realize how difficult it really is!
(The 114OT and the 10OT isn't on every corner...LOL)

Thanks! The 10OT was the tough one for me. Mine actually has Ulster USA 9410 on the tang and OLD TIMER BARLOW on the bolster.

Sounds like the guy that assembled yours picked up the regular Barlow blade and put it in the Old Timer frame.... COOL.

That has to be it, MM. The Ulster 9410 is basically a sawcut bone version of the 10OT.

Hey Fellas, you all got me thinking Ulster now and digging thru some stuff . Have a question about this little Ulster Craftsman. John R posted one similar a while back and was wondering if anyone knows the number of this model . Would it be a Craftsman 4 digit number ? I
Appreciate any feedback so can update my files ,don’t know much about this one . Thank you,take care. ::tu::

MAN... that is a NICE Craftsman JP.... EXTRA nice with the blade etch!!!

I think those Craftsman knives were produced before Sears had a model number stamped on them. (??)

I am by no means an expert on Craftsman knives (although I really like them!!!!) but as I understand, Sears had some STRICT guidelines for their knives! They only bought the BEST for their Craftsman line!
