Anyone ever seen this stamp before?
It's on a 2 blade, molded plastic handle, plated bolstered jack.

Nope, Joe, I've sure never seen that one. Kinda looks sort of "80's ish" to me though, but that's just a hunch.

Re: Odd Colonial Stamp???
Did you think of asking me Joe?? You probably did or I was out that day! hahahha....
I think we used these later than earlier Joe. I'm thinking early 90's and up. I bet the gringing on the blades has a series of many, many very fine vertical lines?? Towards the end, they didn't even deal with the sheilds anymore, as you can see..
SURPRISE!! It's a RANGER!! yup,the last of the Ranger's; when they ran out of good tang stampes they used what ever was laying around. They also cut out the sheild operation, along with the woman who inserted them!
Like my book clear dictates is that Colonial was on a steady decline in quality to save money!! That's how we lost Walmart you know!! Someday I'll tell you about it..

Re: Odd Colonial Stamp???
I hear school bells ringing. What the heck is "gringing" and how did it get on the blades? I've seen knives other than Colonial with fine vertical lines on the blades. Looks like the blade was run between two gears. Is that it?Bonfire bob wrote: I bet the gringing on the blades has a series of many, many very fine vertical lines?? Bobb P.
I have a picture around here some place but at this moment, I can't remember which knife it's on. Sucks to get old.

Re: Odd Colonial Stamp???
So sorry Jerryd, I fall asleep at the keeboard constantly and it drives me crazy!!
The word is "Grinding", and I'm sure the sentence makes much more sence!! Grinding was always done after the heat treating, since grinding soft steel would be just a mess!!
I'm sure you are more than well informed about blade grinding; if not I'll give you the basics of Colonial's procedure. Sorry again, human error strikes again!!
