From Ulster to Imperial

As you can tell by the pictures this old Ulster Scout had seen better days. I cut it apart and was surprised to find out that it was a Swinden key build. A learning experience for me! I drilled out the bolsters and used a shell handled Imperial blade and kept the screwdriver blade from the Ulster.

That turned out great!
Replacing Swinden keys is fairly straight forward and is easy once you’ve done a few. The muskratman video on Swinden key replacement helps a lot.

Thanks Jeff. I watched that video and it was well worth the time. I'm glad I did because I just assumed this knife was pinned. How many other companies used this system besides Schrade?

I’m not sure. Dale could probably tell you that. Ulster was produced by Schrade so it makes sense that they were Swinden key knives.
