I love the buttery color of old ivory. I recently tried to take a better picture of this ivory Ulster.

As in, with a spade in the backyard ? :lol:

Joe, that is a wonderful grouping of old knives. I would go with the first and the last if I were to pick favorites. Then again, that Challenge is pretty impressive, and the.....maybe they are all tied for first place. I had to get out the Tweedale's for the Hepworth Pilley. That is an oldie, the firm was dissolved in 1882!
Thanks for posting them, Joe. Classic cutlery!!!
