All About Pocket Knives

Came in a nice wooden box. Excellent F&F. Exceptional hafting.

QS, now that is a very special find. Great scales and etch. Happy for you.

As always doglegg, your comments are appreciated.

Great looking Bulldog! Exceptional stag!

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

This sure is a great looking knife.

kj, This is Solingen made and is stamped 1995.

Edge and Targetman, thank you for your comments.

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.

Great knife QS... And great info...
Dad would die if he saw this one...

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.
