Nice! Isn't that a GEC Bulldog?

My three today.

Geo, Yes my information is that it is a Bulldog built by GEC. Here is another view.

Happy Monday and great looking choices, guys!

Decided to bring the Remington R3693 Cattle Knife Whittler today. Pretty decent shape and a hard pattern to find.

redrider, In my wanderings I don't recall having encountered that pattern before.

Thanks Quick Steel. I don’t see many. I sure would like to find one.

I decided I wanted to carry something really sharp and had a lockback design.
So here it is: Copperlock 51749L from 1998.

Thanks LA. I never learned the story of why GEC (and maybe Queen) were asked to make a few patterns of BDs. The USA made BDs seem to have come at the time when BD was approaching the end of its fine run. I suppose Parker made this arrangement. I wonder if he was hoping to switch all the BDs to GEC. I am guessing that the German BDs couldn't maintain their quality at a competitive price point. But this is all speculation on my part.

If you ever come across information on this topic, kindly let me know. Gracias.

Willy,
Red Case knives always get a second look!

But tell me, Sir, what is the fine lookin' old knife below the red Case?

Redrider, loving the Remington!

QS, those are some of the nicest covers I’ve seen on a bulldog, very nice!

As for me, with rain in the forecast I figured I’d better swap carbon and wood for stainless and micarta! Case large stockman, Carhartt edition.

Your KA-Bar is really a beauty!

Is it a 1950-70 tang on it?
