USA made Bulldog Brand pocket knives!
Today I received the fourth USA made Bulldog pocket knife! These are rather collectable as they were only made in the States for one year, 1995! From 78 until 94 they were made in Germany! James parker bought the company in 93, and I believe his intention was to start manufacturing them along with WR Case knives ( He owned Case for a time also ) through the Bluegrass Cutlery Company! I guess he changed his mind and let them remain in Germany because, as I said, they only made them here for one year!
These are known as Sowbelly Whittlers! The sowbelly part should be apparent! The whittler pattern is where you have two smaller blades at one end of the knife and one large blade at the other end! on whittler patterns, when you close the knife the large blade nestles between the two smaller blades!
The first is stag, second is smooth yellow tan bone. third is yellow jigged bone, fourth is red jigged bone! All are mint except the red jigged bone!
