In the final two years of the classic (non-China) Bulldog knife production, the knives were produced by GEC in the U.S. I wanted to bring this list forward from when it first appeared way back in 2011. It was provided by boggs of Spokane Wash.
If anyone has any of these they would be interested in selling, kindly send me a pm. Even if not interested in selling, I would enjoy seeing photos of any of these models.

Thanks Gary. I expect this will be a long slow hunt due to finances, but I will certainly share whatever I find.

The latest catalog I have to reference bulldog brand numbers is an '04-'09. Do you have a catalog from after '09? or are these BD's listed in a different catalog? It'd be nice if you could maybe snap me some pictures. I don't think I own any in that timeframe but I'll double-check. 🕵

It has been a while since I've looked at my knives, so I took this post as a challenge. I managed to find 6 American made Bulldogs, 2 which were made by GEC and are on your list. The other 4 were made by Queen (according to hand-written notes that were in the boxes) and dated 2007 and 2008. Somewhere I also have a 1996 Bulldog Moose made in USA by Queen. Thanks to you at least some of my knives have been wiped off and re-oiled!

Beautiful knives, Rustle! I particularly like the gunstock. The clip blade on that knife is exactly how I like a clip blade to look!

USA Bulldog, Red Bone SowBelly Whittler. 3 3/4". Average Walk & Talk. Everything tight. Not so well centered resulting in a bit of blade rub.
But a handsome looking knife.
