Do you know approximately when this knife was made ? German or USA made ?

I used to collect Bulldogs but looked for the earlier ones. This 1995 Toenail with top notch stag shows that not all of the best Bulldogs are the older ones.
I thought it might have been more recent & GEC made. But the stag does look like the stag that comes from Germany. Their source must be different than the stag sold in North America ?

kj, I too was anticipating that in terms of quality the older generation BDs would be the best. But my admittedly limited experience shows me that I can find excellent and even superior quality at both ends of the spectrum; or to put it more aptly, throughout all the generations.

As I see it, while there are a few pieces that carry Sambar Stag covers, the great majority are European Red Stag. These deer average around 400 lbs with correspondingly heavy antlers.

Thank you Willy. One of the major pleasures of AAPK is the sharing of photos among us so we can enjoy each other's discoveries.
