Well I know there are some first class (And classes ahead of me) Bulldog collectors out there. I for one would like to see some of their favorite pieces so I can do a little drooling over my keyboard..

I will start the show with my very small and humble array of Bulldog slipjoints..

Who Let The Dogs Out?.....(woof, woof, woof...woof)...

Here are a couple that will get run over pretty quickly, I'd guess.

See it's already started with the great knives, very nice gents..

Hey Bill what does that certificate say??? I can't quite make it out..

The certificate absofreakinglutely guarantees the knife to be a 1st Generation

...but I believe the certificate is BULLPUCKY.

The stag doesn't look 1st Generation, and there is no date. I think it's a parts knife

...but it is well done, and I'm OK with it. But, I keep the certificate to show others, and I'm not a Parker fan.

One more...

Hmm, well here is a couple, I'll make them rare ones.

My favorite picture Is of the Calf Ropers. This is a once in a lifetime picture of the first 1993 Bulldog Brand Knife catalog under Jim Parker’s ownership with the EXACT 5 Calf Ropers that are pictured on the front of the catalog. In the upper left corner, you can see a portion of a COA and on the right is a shipping invoice from the Friedrich Olbertz factory, signed by Achim Gronauer, September 1993. EACH of the Calf Ropers has Bulldog Brand Proto #2 engraved on the back of the blade. All FIVE are marked as such, identically, in Block Print Letters rather than in Script. All FIVE knives have Rostfrei marked on the tang, with Solingen, Germany, rather than Bulldog Brand.
All are 1 of 1.
I can post more later.

Great knives Hukk,

especially that Roper Set!!

Hukk · Post by **Hukk** » Wed Mar 07, 2007 4:19 pm

Few More

The first is a RARE 25th Anniversary 3 1/2 inch Bone Congress, supposedly only 2 were made, I have both. The Error is that it has a 25 year sheild, But 1995 blades-OOOPS.

Make these Newer knives, I think the 25th Anniversary knives are the best they have made in years quality wise.

DOGgone Hukk...

That is an incredibly fine kennel full of Bulldogs Sir!

I have a compelling urge to start howling at the moon after looking at those fine, fine knives.

I must say, I really like Barlows and customs also.

Hukk · Post by **Hukk** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 4:38 pm

A couple more customs, all Bulldogs.

Click on that big Bull Elephant, Colin really has a lot of detail on that, No scrimping on dots on his scrimshaw technique at all.

one of the knives that i purchased was a bulldog brand,
full size trapper,buffalo horn material,along with a marshall&wells
whitler,and asmall fox&hound small lockback,from italy also
buffalo horn,but i am comeing to the conclusion,that i really like
all of the full size trappers that i have,they are too big for me as a pocket
knife, i like the smaller versions better,
thanks countrydanny;

1 of 5 Mastondon ivory.. special order I had made by Jim Parker.. The factory doesn't do this kind of work any more... or at least parkers won't let individuals order specials any more

And always will be too....A super JEWEL in my book.

I love the flow at the left of the sheild like it was made for it.
