📜 Historical Note
Ulster was one of the primary manufacturers of official Boy Scouts of America knives during the mid-20th century, prior to the brand merging with Imperial. These knives were part of countless campouts, jamborees, and daily carry for scouts from the 1950s through the 1970s. Durable and utilitarian, they remain some of the most nostalgic scout knives on the vintage market today.
