All About Pocket Knives

Confused On this Topic Period!!

Not my area, but I think this might help.

When James Parker and son introduced the "Pit Bull" brand, the tang stamp logo was that of two dogs fighting.

I do not know how long that branding continued, but given the eventual outcry over dogs being trained and goaded into fighting to the death, not to mention how some breeders/owners treated the dogs, i.e. termination, the activity became pretty much socially unacceptable.

The NFL Georgia Falcon QB fiasco, trial and imprisonment made things worse.

So, Parker changed the branding and went to a single non-violent standing dog logo.

I assume the originals have some kind of cult popularity and sell for more than the later, less politically incorrect ones.

Parker, in their later catalogs touted some knives as, "First Run", etc, I never bought any, so don't exactly know what those knives looked like. Were they the fighting dogs variety or was "First Run" simply a ploy to sell knives?

I don't know.

Charlie Noyes Thank you for that info. Quite Interesting. I Had a Gentlemen Try to tell Me That German Bulldog Knives Were Associated With The Pitbull Logo. Saying That was A first, Then They Came Out With The Two Bulldogs. Maybe He Was Confused Or Trying To Pull One Over Me. LOL. So This Is Why I Am Asking. Thank You So Much!!

MC under the larger research above there is quiet a bit of information on Bulldogs and their generations.
