Here is an old Winchester marked on all blades and a Ulster Pearl that is stamped Ulster Nkife Company. Yes, Nkife is how it reads on the knife. Love the mis stamp! Dont know if I posted these in this thread or not.

WW, that's basically just a "pick" that can be used for whatever you would use a pick for.woodwalker wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 3:28 pmThank you Roger for the info! Always appreciate your knowledge.

And in case you were wondering why it's called a "Lobster" knife, is if you pull the pick and the pen blade out a little farther, with the pivot pins for eyes, it looks a bit like a lobster with its claws out, like this.. Not my knife BTW.. A bit of unsolicited info for you! Ha!toomanyknives wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 4:54 pmwoodwalker wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 4:22 pmOh, ok Kerry!! Appreciate the info.

thanks Kerry!! I will take all the knife knowledge I can get!! And you are right of course, it does look kinda like a lobster. I've heard them called orange blossom knives as well.

To most knife collectors, a whittler is a three blade knife with two backsprings, one thick main blade that rides on both backsprings. The bottom end has two blades, that ride on separate backsprings.
Yes sir. Oh, and generally the main blade is in between the two smaller blades. Usually the three blades are Main- Clip, wharncliff, or spear, a small coping, and a small clip' . Glad to be of help..enuf wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 1:30 pmAhhhh- got it, I have never paid attention to that.
