Very glad you like it Phil. Do you know why I didn't use the word Canittler? Because for some peculiar reason the spelling of the word gives me fits as in- Two ns; no that can't be right. One t or two? But aren't two ls more likely? The heck with it! It shall simply be a gunboat.

Thank you geocash. I don't know how familiar you are with BDs. Someone is producing them today in China. Stay strictly with the German made blades for quality.

I didn't know that Bulldog knives were now being made in China!!!!! :shock: I guess I shouldn't be surprised when companies like Buck, Kissing Crane, Puma, Remington, KaBar, and others are making some or all of their knives in Asian countries. Won't be long before you won't be able to buy anything made by us round eyes. ::td::

Anyway, here are two of my favorite German Bulldogs from my collection, Buffalo Horn & MOP.

Charlie, I'm really liking those German Bulldogs and that buffalo horn one does nothing to diminish my affection. ::tu::

Thanks guys!

Here are a couple more German canoes from Frank Buster - Fight'N Rooster. One thing to keep in mind if and/or when you acquire Fight'N Rooster knives is they loved celluloid handles and did some beautiful (if eventually dangerous) things with them. Both of the knives pictured below have celluloid handles.

Same situation with Bulldog. Lots of cellulloid covers.

They are beautiful though. I have a separate display/storage for celluloid knives so they can't damage other knives if/when they off-gas. I did some research and found out that the darker colors that are solid and not translucent are less likely (or take longer) to off-gas. The whole celluloid thing is hindsight. If they had known then what we know now, right. That's why we now have Delrin, Corelon, Acrylic, Kirinite, G-10, Micarta, etc. Although there are still some makers using celluloid.

This one is an example of celluloid from Case...

I've passed on many good looking celluloid BDs which I have always regretted. And I did think of separate storage. But as I got into this brand I just made the decision to keep with natural covers. Tho...they are tempting. ::undecided::

Actually, that's probably the best policy. However when I learned about the drawbacks of celluloid, I already had more than a few. Since then I have avoided celluloid for the most part....unless one just dazzles me silly! :shock: :lol:

This old Colonel Coon came in today. Have always like the original CCs made in Tennessee by just two men. The Autumn Bone is my favorite.
The F&F on this particular knife are excellent.

Beautiful knives. Were those made by Bear or some other manufacturer? I was thinking that Bear made those for CC.
The fit and finish does look impressive on those.

The original Col. Coons were made in Tenn. by Col. Coon Cutlery. The Col. Coon canoes I have, pictured below, were made by Queen through SMKW under license or they acquired the name. I did a little research and found that the Corelon handles were done by Michael Prater of Painted Pony. The one QS has looks very much like a Queen product. All four of mine are high quality knives with great F&F.

Thanks Charlie, I knew they were made by someone else and I really didn’t think that it looked like Bear. Queen makes sense. I can see it now.

You have some nice canoes Nev52. You may be flirting with getting "hooked" with this neat pattern. :)

Nev52, Nothing wrong with collecting Rough Ryders and the prices are easy to love. I have several that have a lot of appeal to me including canoes.

Thanks Doglegg. I guess you can say I accumulate not really collect. If I see something I like I buy it. I have to say since I found this web site I am accumulating a lot more pocket knives. I guess you have to spend money on something. :lol:
