Bulldog knife pick
Bulldog knife pick
Picked up another Bulldog knife opener. It is a little fancier than the first one. A pic of the two together. Maybe one is left hand and the other right hand. Thanks for looking.

Re: Bulldog knife pick
Maybe you should start a Knife Pick show & Tell
Re: Bulldog knife pick
I would enjoy seeing everyone else's.
Re: Bulldog knife pick
Hi Doglegg, I like the fancy picks myself. I remember when Jim Parker used to give those away as freebies when you bought Bulldogs at his knife shows. Those days are gone...aren't they!!

Re: Bulldog knife pick
Thanks Mike, I enjoy the little accessories to a brand.
Targetman, I'm sure glad you have begun posting. What an amazing amount of Bulldogs. They don't give them away anymore but are great little additions. I think I have only seen 3 variations. There are probably more.

Re: Bulldog knife pick
Doglegg, I'm not really sure, but I think I remember in one of Jim's Bulldog catalogs a listing of all the different Bulldog Knife picks he had for sale. For some reason I want to say six styles. I kept all the Bulldog catalogs for reference from 1997 to 2010. They keep things straight in my mind about details. If I run across them in a catalog soon I will let you know for sure.
Re: Bulldog knife pick
Doglegg, from a 2003 catalog I found these Bulldog knife picks. The middle two look the same to me. I was mistaken about how many there were.
What I was thinking about were knife picks from other trademarks Jim Parker had license to. I included these pictures out of a 2002 catalog for your amusement.
If you click on the pictures they will be right side up.

Re: Bulldog knife pick
Thanks for the info and history Targetman. I will have to keep an eye out for that one I don't have.

Re: Bulldog knife pick
I have never used a knife pick on anything I collect or use daily. I would never use one on a high quality collectable and my daily carry all I need is my thumbnail to open any blade. I would think using a knife pick daily would scar up the nail nick. Just my opinion for what it's worth.

Re: Bulldog knife pick
Yes I remember this. Especially when Jim Parker was selling off the Bulldog stag factory over runs in 2003-2004. Every knife you bought, he would include a pick in a plastic sleeve. Didn't matter if you ordered or was at his show, a pick was included. Those were the good old days!

Re: Bulldog knife pick
I keep a pick (it’s a Case, not a Bulldog) attached to my key ring. Don’t use it often but if I’m looking at a bunch of knives or run across one with a stiff back spring it comes in handy.Steve Warden wrote:Cool.

Re: Bulldog knife pick
A pick has its place, but I was always afraid to use one and cause scarring in the nail nick.
Re: Bulldog knife pick
Hi Doglegg, I have been seeing a few Bulldog knife picks on EBay for sale with the standing dog etch you needed. Also saw a Double Dog Head etch offered. All these were offered by Silverladdie (Buzz Parker) Hope you saw these and got one for your collection.

Steve, I use one regularly when I photograph knives. You do have to be extremely careful because you will scratch the knife at the nail nick if it slips off. Probably 1/4 of the knives that I handle are hard to open and it’s the only way that I can open them. My thumbnails are brittle from my diabetes and turn back or break easily. My EDC usually has a thumbstud for this very reason.
My go to pick is my A.G. Russell w/ mammoth ivory, I haven’t photographed it, but can. What I like most about this one is that the business end has a slant, almost like a knife blade, which makes it easy to get into the smaller and less deep nail nicks. Or turn it over and use the flat side for larger ones. Other knife picks I have don’t have that. You can tell A.G. put a lot of thought into this.

Re: Bulldog knife pick
Here you go Steve, not the best photos but you can see it. From the catalog they don’t offer mammoth ivory any more. The second photo may be hard to see that slant, I tried to get it against a dark back ground, if you zoom in I think you can see it.Steve Warden wrote:A pic of that mammoth would be great, please.Sharpnshinyknives wrote:Steve Warden wrote:Cool.

Re: Bulldog knife pick
SSK that is a nifty knife pick indeed. I've seen some others for Schatt and Morgan and Canal Street that have Mammoth. Your is great.
Re: Bulldog knife pick
Thanks for thinking of me Targetman. The Standing Dog etch from Silverladdie is in the mail with my address on it. I'll try to get a pic when it gets here.Targetman wrote:Hi Doglegg, I have been seeing a few Bulldog knife picks on EBay for sale with the standing dog etch you needed.
