Thanks QS! Glad you approve.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 8:28 pm I think you did well LA. It looks good and is more useable now.
Sounds great.
Took lemons and made lemonade. Looks good.Loose Arrow wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 8:17 pm 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?
Nice one!
I sort of forgot how much I liked Bulldogs... until I started digging around in my "stash" Once I got a couple in my hands turns out I REALLY like them 'Ol Bulldogs
Cool share!geocash wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 2:27 pm 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?
Wish I could tell you QS.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 1:15 am 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.?
Yes, sorry to have confused you, I meant QS as in Quick Steel not Queen.geocash wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 12:01 pm 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.
Queen did make a sowbelly whittler for Bulldog in 1995, high quality knives!!Loose Arrow wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 6:39 pmYes, sorry to have confused you, I meant QS as in Quick Steel not Queen.geocash wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 12:01 pm Appreciate it doglegg, Loose Arrow & Quick Steel.
