Is this Bulldog knife forum dead?

I'm a Bulldog fan as well. Great looking knife

I sort of forgot how much I liked Bulldogs... until I started digging around in my "stash" Once I got a couple in my hands turns out I REALLY like them 'Ol Bulldogs

You might assume, correctly, that I like Bulldog Brand knives just because I'm here. I have four Bulldogs & five Fight'n Rooster knives & expect anything from Fredrich Olbertz to be well-made. I don't have any celluloid in the house & don't want any. However, that reduces my choices plus I generally don't care for club knives or etches that represent something other than the brand. I'm not trying to criticize any one else's preferences so, if that's something you like, that's fine because I like a lot of stuff that no one else seems to. Anyway, I recently got a fifth Bulldog, this stag Whittler with a "2008" tang stamp. It also has a "USA" stamp so I believe it was made by GEC. With its walk & talk & fit & finish I can easily believe GEC made it. What do ya'll think?

Cool share!
I got this one that has a unique engraving.

geocash: You have a beautiful whittler. The USA Bulldogs are always pleasing. I generally find the quality of German made BDs to be quite fine as well.

Loose Arrow: It would be great to know the history of your BD. Who had it engraved, for whom, etc.?

Wish I could tell you QS.
I bought it off of eBay with no description or information regarding its engraving.

Appreciate it doglegg, Loose Arrow & Quick Steel.
Loose Arrow, I do like that Wharncliffe, if that's what yours is.
I don't recall ever seeing a Bulldog made by Queen although I probably have & just didn't recognize it. I need to learn a lot more but somehow I did recognize this one as made by GEC & I'm glad I did.

Yes, sorry to have confused you, I meant QS as in Quick Steel not Queen.

Queen did make a sowbelly whittler for Bulldog in 1995, high quality knives!!

Three days ago I posted a picture of a USA Bulldog Brand Whittler I got recently & concluded that it was made by GEC. Since then I've read some older threads & found a litter mate to my Bulldog. In the thread "American Made Bulldogs" on August 16, 2020 the fifth post is by Rustle47. He showed 4 Bulldogs made by Queen, dated 2007 & 2008, & said that somewhere he had a Moose made in 1996 by Queen for Bulldog. His photos are much better than mine so in his photo of the Whittler made by Queen you can see the number 035 on the bolster. You can't see my bolster as clearly but it has 064 on it.

Thanks for looking at my post, geocash. I bought those knives new and then added a note with the manufacturer's name to back up my poor memory. They are also listed in a spreadsheet where I enter each knife I purchase, so I'm reasonably confident I am right.

And thank you for posting it. The answer to just about any question I come up with is on here somewhere. Plus, I learn a lot & have a good time while I look.

I can't tell you much other than it's a double dog head bulldog made in 2002 and 2003, 4-1/8" closed "Thor" model, book says there were 60 made in carbon steel.

[GSPTOPDOG]

Only 60...made in carbon steel To me that makes it even more special and unique Very nice! Thanks

[Loose Arrow]

Scored this one recently, large congress, 1985.

[Quick Steel]
