Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
Got this lockback off Ebay this week. Didn't pay much and wasn't expecting much but the handle feels good in my hand and the lock works great. Kind of impressed with it.

That’s the attitude ! Open,enjoy. Can save the package .CluelessNick wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 11:47 pmAre you gonna open it? LOL ! I bought a ranger jack knife a while back but just had to open it. I find it amazing there are still so many old knives still in original packaging.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 10:33 pm I acquired this very recently.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
One more that I added to my Collection today is this like new jack knife. I think it is a shell handle knife but it feels real sturdy. I have tried so far to limit my Colonial collection to solid handle knives but now find myself looking at older knives too. I need more shelves I think.

Someone else has a couple of these on here somewhere. Evidently they came in other colors but I've not seen any yet.edge213 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 12:24 amInteresting, I've never seen one of these.CluelessNick wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 11:51 pm Got this lockback off Ebay this week.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
My Swiss Master came in the mail yesterday. It is in the original package but it was no hard decision to take it out as it had already been opened. Still it is in new condition and looks great on my little display shelf.

Picked up a few more Colonial knives over the last couple of weeks. A yellow handle Ranger with scissors, a scrimshaw Barlow and a wooden handle Colonial stockman. All in like new condition. My Colonial collection keeps growing.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I received this Colonial Barlow today. A welcome addition to my Colonial and Barlow family. I thought this was a neat looking Colonial Barlow. I know little about the date of the tang stamp. It has a reproduction of an early Colonial Cutlery tang stamp with Arched "Colonial" over Prov,. R.I., but has an 05 in the center of the tang stamp. I'm not sure if this is the year or pattern number. On the reverse of the main blade it has a tang stamp "440 Stainless". The blades look near new, and have great snap. It has natural colored wood handles. If anyone has information about this tang stamp, feel free to post about it.

Thanks for the info Scott. Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured. I was thinking that maybe the "05" may have been the year.TripleF wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 10:48 am
