Bulldog Calf Ropers

[Scott Shiraki]

I have been collecting these for a number of years, and they are hard to come by. Cool “Klappbügel-Verschluss” or folding bracket closure. This knife is known as a "Klappbügel-Messer" and "Notschlachter" (emergency slaughter). They only made 100 of the frosted etch and 100 of the green jig bone. They made 188 of the black etch.

Have never seen these, I really like them. Is that a lock or opening mechanism?

Locking mechanism, same as on the GEC 23 Bullock knives

I have some other versions of this type. These were made by German makers Hugo Koller, Paul F. Dick and the other two are without maker’s marks which seems to be common with these.
