When I first looked at that pic, I was guessing that the handsome guy in the middle was probably you. What was the occasion? I don't see a Camillus USN knife in your grouping there? My Dad was in the Seabees, and one of his brothers made a career of the Navy.

Sailer of the Quarter. I was a Cryptologic Technician 2nd Class Petty Officer. Stationed in the Middle East (Bairain) then Washington DC. Great times!!

My Grandfather once told me his time in the Navy were some of the best years of his life as a young man.

They were mine too Gussharp!!

The second knife was put together from parts after the Queen auction. The others are contract knives.

Bear& sons made Queens.

You are the undisputed Ratcliffe King, John!!! It would be interesting to see a group photo of all the Ratcliffes you've made over the years for yourself and others...the complete Ratcliffe Kingdom

A 1st gen and three 4th gen Bulldogs…

[Sharpnshinyknives]

You’ve got some beauties there Gus. Especially the 5 blade Sowbellies.

[Quick Steel]

Gus, you have a mighty fine collection of Bulldogs. I'm loving the Sowbellies.

[GusSharp68]

Thanks guys, my favorite is the 1st gen because the dog looks like our dog and the heart shield is a bit unique.

Nice, what brand are those?

[QTCut5]

Nice group, Garry! I like seeing a single pattern in a variety of brands, handle materials, and colors...the differnet shields are a bonus.

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Those are nice Garry. I’ve liked camp knives all my life. My first knife was a camp knife. I’ve admired those Marble’s ones for many years but never pulled the trigger. They are a well made knife for not a lot of money.
