Scott, do you have to open the near blade first in order to reach the nail nick on the back blade? ::hmm::

I stumbled across a nice collection of knives a few weeks ago and found a pristine Colonial from somewhere in the 80s. I have a few other Colonial knives, but not one as long as this gem!

Let me know what you think!

I made an account to post about this!
I've been watching restoration videos on youtube, and they got me thinking about this knife I found a few years ago at a garage sale. I checked the brand, went to google, and found myself here. As y'all can see, it's pretty beat. I was hoping someone could let me know a little more about the knife or provide some insight into how I would fix it up.
Thanks!

$2.50 for this unused Colonial Forest Master at the fleamarket last weekend. It is the 3 blade version, which I had not seen before. I have seen many 4 blade, and have a new unused one too, but never a 3 blade. Same thing without the awl.

Found this knife at a flea market yesterday. Went through this thread on a sleepless night and didnt realize about Bonfire Bob's extensive knowledge about Colonial knives. I am an accumulator and just always passed on Colonial knives for some reason. Not knowing much about them I guess. I will look for more now as there are some beauties in this thread. We sure are blessed to have so many folks with such a wealth of knowledge on this site. :)

This came in the mail today. I picked it off Ebay. An Anvil Shield Colonial Stockman, about 3-7/8" closed. Has COLONIAL PROV. , U.S.A. STAINLESS on the Clip Blade and patent number on the Spey blade. Walks and talks loud on all blades. My cheap camera doesn't do it justice. The handle color is a deep reddish brown. I really don't think it has been on a stone.

I don't what it is about the Anvil Shields, but I'm just fond of them. I've got a couple other smaller versions of the Anvil Shield, but they have more wear. This is the first one I've found that I would call near mint.

Picked up this display case with the original knives a few years ago , don’t think I ever posted it .
Not sure how old it is , guessing 1980’s ?

Thanks for looking ,

Mike
