Re: Is this Bulldog knife forum dead?
I shared these on another post figured I'd share them here too.
Re: Is this Bulldog knife forum dead?
Very nice knives, Arrow. I especially like the one with the Elk, or Red Deer. Here is one of mine.

Sweet! Thanks
Here's mine. I have it in MOP, clip blade with a peacock and the tiny seductress in Gold Lip MOP too.
Re: Is this Bulldog knife forum dead?
I like that whittler, Arrow. I keep meaning to get one of the smaller versions. Did you mention MOP ... ?

Looking good, real good!

Forgot to mention that I have an '84 Congress club knife in stag too, except in a 6 blade version.RevolverGuy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 5:38 pm The early Bulldog knives were some of the best crafted knives I have ever handled. I would say even nicer than the old Schatt & Morgan's. I am fortunate to own a few of them and they all have very strong springs and gorgeous stag. The attention to detail is superb...mirror polished blades, mirror polished liners, half stops, serrated nail nicks (match strike pull), pinched bolsters, pinned shields...so much to make you drool over. I think that one reason that forum area doesn't get much traction is that the old ones are getting harder to find. The company went under, and yes I know Frost owns the trademark but those are a whole different knife, so collectors hold on to the ones they have for a long time. And that makes it harder for those new to the hobby to become familiar with them.
This is one in my collection. Bulldog congress from 1984.

Re: Is this Bulldog knife forum dead?
In my early Doctor Knife days before I knew anything about brands or celluloid (or really even patterns) I picked up five Bulldog Docs. They are well made and pretty so I hang on to them.
I also acquired a Wharncliffe whittler and a couple of Cotton Samplers, one of which has moved on.
I don't dislike them. They just don't light my fire. I guess you could say, I'm ambivalent to the brand. You didn't list a choice for that.

Very nice examples! I only have two, zero samplers.
Now after seeing your doctors, I'm embarrassed to even show mine!
I appreciate you stopping by and adding them.
*Sorry, ambivalent would've been a good one. I can add it but last time I did that it reset the poll.

Re: Is this Bulldog knife forum dead?
Took a chance on this piece and I think it came it better than anticipated.

Re: Is this Bulldog knife forum dead?
Just thought I'd share a knife that exists except for...
I have Parker's encyclopedia along with his pocket guides vol 1-5 & 7 and I noticed that there is a whole section of Anglo Saxon Whittlers ('99-'00, standing dog, bar shield) that are not to be found, Genuine (Smooth) Bone, not to be confused with the dark brown (jigged) bone knife. The only bone covers listed are the 2 found in a clip blade version, one with an etch and one without. The guides apparently are all missing a whole section that should be for genuine (smooth) bone with the following etchings; Celebrated Anglo Saxon, Spread Wing Eagle, Under my Wings and the New Orleans Knife.
Re: Is this Bulldog knife forum dead?
Thanks! I appreciate you stopping by.
Here's another, a club knife. '82. It needs to be cleaned.
Re: Is this Bulldog knife forum dead?
Some mighty fine looking knives, Loose Arrow. To go along with your gorgeous MOP Baby Toe, here is a large and small Stag Elephant Toe, but I suppose I should call them Sunfish given the blade etch. These two carry some of the best, most colorful blade etches in my whole knife collection.
