I am sure that the Parkers still control Bulldog Brand. I have seen a few recently that were made in the USA, most probably by Queen. Queen made some knives for Bulldog in 1995 & 1996 also. Most are still made in Germany I would think. I saw a lot of new knives that Buzz Parker had at the Tn. show this past weekend. They are good knives but in my opinion the 1st generation German Bulldogs made in the late 70s and early 80s were some of the finest production knives ever made. Charlie Dorton owned the company at that time. David Scott was the marketer. That being said I have a lot of respect for the older Case knives also. Probably a longer answer than you requested but I have a lot of interest in the Bulldog Brand Knives.

Please excuse my Bulldog ignorance but, are the German Bulldogs MADE in Germany or is Bulldog brand just keeping a store front up in Germany to say that the knives are FROM Germany? Please say they don't have anything to do with China or anywhere else except Germany or the U.S.A. ::mdm::

They are made by Olbertz in Germany. They also make many Hen/Rooster, Eye Brand, Indian Head, Wiedmanshiel, other knives.
