Sunburst,
In answer to your question on the bulldogs the Stags have increased considerably, probably a right move as there is a movement towards natural handles. Still it would be hard to sell these knives for book value day in and day out.
I am a little disappointed that there was not more thought into increasing the values on some of the rare low production 1st generation knives. A lot of these rare knives have not been adjusted in price since Tony Foster compiled his booklet in 1990. These particular knives are extremely hard to find and command a premium in the marketplace compared to the standard production bulldogs.
There are a few BKC#s that some collectors feel were mistakes in the previous volumes that have been carried forward such as BKC#355. This knife is a Dk. Butter and Molasses Cuttin Horse listed at 300.00 in all of the past Parker books. It is the opinion of some collectors that this was a mistake and it was confused with BKC#356, a (not dark) butter and molasses cuttin horse with only 24 produced compared to 300 of BKC#355. Both #s are listed at 300.00 although Tony Foster's booklet in 1990 makes a clear distinction in the values. #355 will not come close to commanding the higher figure, rightly so. A few others I could point out but won't in the interest of not boring the readers.
All in all I am satisfied with the book. I guess we can't expect perfection and certainly can't deliver it ourselves.. I hope this helps with regard to the older bulldog section. Thanks for asking.

Thanks Roger!
