Thanks Paul. Wish I could have taken some better pics. Some of the tang stamps are very faint and these pics don't do justice particularly to the Rogers bone on that Tadpole. Slim.

Thanks Joe. I'm almost inclined to have this one re-bladed with a k-nice spear point with long pull or maybe even a Wharncliffe blade with long pull and swedge. Wouldn't that be nice ::woot:: ::woot::

It would be lovely, but...........I'd be nervous about those beautiful bone covers. You cant replace those.

What you have there is a WW II era Army Air Corps Pilot`s knife.

The handles are genuine Rogers jigged bone ::drool::

Willie, what a great knife!
Is it yours, I hope?

When someone mentions "working man's knives" or "utilitarian knives", I always think of the Robeson 050 pattern fat jack.

It is a huge handful of a beefy knife.

I've seen them with "BULLDOG" etched on the master and later they had a beaver etched on the master.

I've owned two or three in the past, but never one with that much original blade profile remaining.

I had my eye on one in 1989, at a knife show. The blades were full, the 'BULLDOG" etch was deep and fully ledgible and the ebony handles were in great shape. However, the blades were grey with patina. Price was $100.00. I showed it to another dealer I knew. They recommended I pass and stated another would come along in better condition for much less money. I passed on it.

..........and I'm still waiting for a better one to come, along, however, I've long since given up finding it for less than a hundred dollars.

Congrats Willie. You got a good one.

Yes Charlie, that one is mine.

I tried to carry it a while back but it is just TOO fat. LOL

Sure feels good "in hand".
