bulldog brand knives

I thought I'd add some Black Lip Pearl 25th anniversary prototypes to this thread.
First up is a Proto 3 3/4 Copperhead, 2nd a 4 inch 1 of 7 Proto Muskrat and lastly a 3 3/8 sowbelly. Just took the pictures last evening. I used the lighting conditions at that time in my backyard to bring out the color. If I try to take pictures in the morning, there is just too much light and it washes out all the color, I think I have a few of those on this site.
I guess I should have compressed them some first, oh well.

EDITED with compressed photo's

This is a Genuine Tortoise Shell handle made in 1996. The handles were originally for a 1930's J. Primble Belknap Germany knives. This knife comes with a COA and only 3 were made. No more will be made-ever. The Tortoise is now an endangered species. The handles were already 60 years old when this knife was made. I hope you enjoy seeing a rare Bulldog with very rare handles.

This one is not as nice or collectible as the other fine Bulldogs I see here, but it does have a use.

This is a Bulldog "Ham & Cheese" or Bar knife . I got a couple to give out during the Thanksgiving & Christmas Holidays last year, saved one to sell and one to use.

It lasted about three hours on eBay before it was reported and the auction cancelled.

That is a sweet Gherkin to demonstrate its use.

Those are some very top notch & rare Hard Candy pieces from Bulldog Cutlery I have ever seen , thank you for sharing them with all of us! ....I collected the Bulldog Brand back in 2000 but stopped after hearing about they were slow to rise in market value so I sold off most of the knives I acquired at that time except for a complete set of 2000 - Bulldog - "Prototype" - Sunfish that only came into production of five sets at 26 pieces each set (I think with out looking) & one very large (8 1/2" closed) 1995 - Bulldog display Sunfish (1 of 10) with Purple Passion cell handles! ....I now collect older Case knives in Bone & Stag & of course Case Classics in Bone, Stag & other exotic handles but really think ya'll have some very nice keepers in Bulldog for sure

Roger, Sounds like you still have a few very nice ones yourself. I also mainly collect Case but, I do collect several other brands if I see one I like or think wil be a good investment.

DADGUM!

Boys, I don't think I've ever seen knives that purty. I bet you had to sell a Buick or somethin to get your hands on some of them. I think that's the first Bulldog knives I've seen. I'm impressed.
