A stunning large stockman pattern knife made in 2000 by Bulldog Brand in Solingen, Germany. This handmade knife features three blades: a long clip point, sheepsfoot, and spey, all stamped “2000” with deep Bulldog etches and distinctive swedging. The handle scales are a beautiful swirl of celluloid in marbleized amber, violet, and copper tones, capped with nickel silver bolsters and adorned with the Bulldog shield.
This is a true Solingen-made Bulldog knife—hammer forged and part of the third generation of Bulldog knives, issued after the brand’s original revival in the late 1970s. These 2000 models were released in limited batches and remain highly sought after by collectors for their quality and vibrant celluloid patterns.

The Bulldog Brand was originally founded in the early 20th century and later revived in the 1970s by Charlie Dorton with German production in Solingen. This knife, produced in 2000, represents a continuation of that Solingen heritage—known for hammer-forged blades and vivid celluloid.
