Fished this dull razor out of the bay sometime ago. It had some rust right on the edge of the main blade and someone had tried to buff it out leaving the etch polished in only that area. Regrettably I finished evening out the polished look of the etch then I took off some material and re-sharpened it. Now it's a razor and not just in name. What do you think? Should I have left it alone? ::hmm::

Thanks! ::handshake:: I tell you, about 2 years ago I missed a huge opportunity to get some really nice Bulldogs from and older gentleman at the local flea market. He was selling off a bunch of Case and Bulldogs and I always got to his spot AFTER some other guy grabbed everything good :x I did pick up a couple of Bulldogs and a Case of two from him, but I missed out on a ton of good stuff. :oops: I saw some of the "lost" knives from a guy that bought them from that older gentleman and and there was some really good pieces that he got. :x Oh well, :roll: who knows what this weekend flea market holds... ::hmm::

You might assume, correctly, that I like Bulldog Brand knives just because I'm here. I have four Bulldogs & five Fight'n Rooster knives & expect anything from Fredrich Olbertz to be well-made. I don't have any celluloid in the house & don't want any. However, that reduces my choices plus I generally don't care for club knives or etches that represent something other than the brand. I'm not trying to criticize any one else's preferences so, if that's something you like, that's fine because I like a lot of stuff that no one else seems to. Anyway, I recently got a fifth Bulldog, this stag Whittler with a "2008" tang stamp. It also has a "USA" stamp so I believe it was made by GEC. With its walk & talk & fit & finish I can easily believe GEC made it. What do ya'll think?

geocash: You have a beautiful whittler. The USA Bulldogs are always pleasing. I generally find the quality of German made BDs to be quite fine as well.

Loose Arrow: It would be great to know the history of your BD. Who had it engraved, for whom, etc.?

Wish I could tell you QS. ::facepalm::
I bought it off of eBay with no description or information regarding its engraving. ::shrug::

Appreciate it doglegg, Loose Arrow & Quick Steel.
Loose Arrow, I do like that Wharncliffe, if that's what yours is.
I don't recall ever seeing a Bulldog made by Queen although I probably have & just didn't recognize it. I need to learn a lot more but somehow I did recognize this one as made by GEC & I'm glad I did.
