Re: Dave Shirley Northwoods
Just got this one yesterday. Series 3 made in 2005. Very thick blade spine and lots of heft. Feels great in my hand. And the stag is marvelous.

C. Risner Indian Head stockman
I received a C. Risner (Solingen, Germany) Indian Head stockman as a gift. The scales are imitation ivory. I've seen references made to the scales being made out of cells;loid and wanted to find out for sure. I don't know the date of manufacture but it's my understanding that celluloid han't been us...

Re: Schatt & morgan vs GEC
I'm grateful for all the feedback regarding the history of S&M. I am a relative newbie in the world of collecting knives but I'm an old timer that one day discovered he had a number of pocket knives and wanted more :) I always stayed away from anything made by Queen or S&M because of the man...

Just picked up this gunstock knife. Build quality is excellent. I now have five S&Ms and each one is superb. They are good bargains IMHO.

Re: German Bulldog knives
billbeer, the info sheet has been around quite a while and a point needs to be emphasized to the casual reader. On the "other" forum some people believe BDs were still being made in Germany or the U.S.as late as 2015. I cannot pin down the specific year Frost bought the name and move it t...

I have done more digging and for anyone who is interested, here's what I've managed to cobble together from several sources: Bulldog Brand Knife History......

Re: German Bulldog knives
Hello billbeer, yes blue steel refers to the blade steel. Thanks for your follow-up on the blade steel question(s). I also took your advice and did a little digging on the topic. As a former steel worker and engineer I was a little curious as to the metallurgical qualities of "Blue Steel"...

Re: German Bulldog knives
Thanks for the info QuickSteel. I have heard different explanation for the "SD". Interesting stuff though. Yes, I suspect the knife was not cared for but no rust anywhere that I can see but I did give it a bath with mineral oil but not a soak. Wiped it down and lubed the blades. Pen is a l...

Re: German Bulldog knives
Can anyone comment on the significance of the "Tobacco" branding of the bolster? Also, these barlows all have the bolster trim in black - how was that done? With paint? Mine is starting to come off and I was wondering what to do about it?

Re: German Bulldog knives
Thanks to all who wrote such welcoming posts. The Bulldog barlow looks to be well made. I think that I will be happy owning it. I am not familiar with the terminally : "blue steel". Is that what the blades are made of? My knife has a spey master blade and a pen secondary blade. It is etche...

Re: German Bulldog knives
Newbie to this forum. I just purchased a Bulldog barlow (Tobacco) 1st Gen in green bone. Carbon steel blades but was wondering if anyone knows what grade of steel it is? I'm excited about the arrival of this knife (hasn't't gotten here yet). I've read, with interest, some of the history of this comp...
