Those were part of a series of low end Bulldog knives. They came (maybe exclusively) in composite handles and would rust if you looked at them wrong. Good users, but hard to maintain with shrinking handles and rusting blades.

It's a 4th generation Bulldog 4-1/8 trapper. The etch is one I really dislike. 96 or 97 knife time frame give or take, ONE of few that does not have the year under the standing dog tang stamp. It is a cheapie, made to use.
Yes, I think the shrinking handles and rusting blades go together.

We bought a ton with an ugly peachseed composite and re-handled in stag/bone. They still rusted like a nail in iodine.
