Very cool video. My first experience with these were in the 80s when I was a boy scout, still have the two knives and I’m quite fond of them. I have a few of the older ones with that tang stamp you showed, and they’re def well made knives. I still like the later ulster knives too, even tho they’re of lesser quality than the earlier ones, they’re are some real gems from the 50s and 60s that I’ve seen and own. A handful of my ulster collection were old rusty knifes that were sold “as is” “unknown maker” and after some fine grit sandpaper and elbow grease, you can see the ulster knife co. Tang stamp. All have great walk n talk, and full blades. They just needed to be cleaned. I’m always on the hunt for the older ones, the few I have are some of my favorites. Another great video, love being able to fill the cracks in my limited knowledge of some of these things. Thanks for sharing
DeVine was from Ulster Ireland and his Ulster branded knives didn't sell well in certain parts of the east coast because the Irish Americans related Ulster to "the troubles" in Ireland, that's why the name was changed to Kingston.
Very interesting I really love these history videos. That's what I love about collecting is the history and time periods.
