Knifetime, I don't think all the Bulldog knives that came out of the Olbertz factory were 1st class.Nice group.

I didn't think I had anything to add to this thread but there I go, wrong again. I have a couple of Bulldog Cotton Samplers I've had for 10+ years. I've always assumed the handles are acrylic. Anyone know for sure?
Please excuse the poor picture.

Those Cotton Samplers are 1996 (Love it when they stamp the year on the tang. No code, no guessing.)

Nice Bulldogs fellas. Just looked at one of my posts on this thread. Knifetime' what I meant to say was I think all the Bulldogs that came out of the Olbertz factory were 1st class

sorry bro,sometimes my brain and my fingers don't work together. Here's another of mine I like a lot. Parker called this oyster shell and I was wondering if it to was acrylic?Slim

LoL that's what I thought you meant.They are very well made knives,at least the ones I have seem to be.
There is "oyster shell" and they made knives with that material but if it is synthetic it depends on win it was made.All the ones I have and have saw that were made after about 1990s are acrylic.Are you sure that is synthetic ?

I will tell you something that I have noticed about acrylic,it looks like it has a clear coat over the handle and the cellod looks flat."no clear coat over it"So if it looks like there is a thick clear coat over the scales thin most of the time it is acrylic.Just my observation.

My favorite Bulldogs are the early ones .... any model as long as it has the old style stag on it. If I had to pick a favorite model Id say it would be a Muskrat ... Ive got one in one of the folders but not in this picture... ..Im thinking maybe I should post a recent picture of "Olive"

Sorry Knifetime for not responding right away, been gone for a few days. The oyster shell whittler is stamped 1993 and does appear to have a clear-coat so probably acrylic, also has no signs of gassing. Sl;im
