My daughter would say "that looks so not right." I'd say it looks like a big chunk of handle is missing.

It`s right

Nice WWII era Ulster mountain division utility knife

[Ramrod]

Mine looks just like that. Looks like a good bit of the mains tip gone and reprofiled though. Mark

That does look weird! But Miller knows his knives!

[Owd Wullie]

It's right.

Very neat old knives.
Here's mine.

For sure it's a Mt. Division knife in really good shape. I think they made 5 different types. The set would get a ton of money. Hang on to it. They are worth more than your average scout-utility knife.
Here is an Ebay sale on now.

Guys,
What is it on this knife that sets it apart from Ulster's garden variety camper/utility knife? How is this one different?

[ole_muddy]

Paladin: The difference in it is having to Phillips screwdriver blade. It was added for the Mountain Division to tighten the bindings on skis. The most desireable of all these Mountain knives is the one that has the Phillips as an integral part of the bail and it is located at the center of the outside of the bail. I have seen that variety go for over $600 on the Bay; the knife in question would probably get into the $150-200 range.

Thanks very much. Always good to know.

If you can get your hands on Lavine's Guide 5th Edition you'll find this knife on page 289,plus a decent discription and history.
