Colonial Knife was incorporated in 1926 by three brothers; Antonio, Domenic, & Fredrick Paolantonio. It grew to become one of the largest pocket knife manufacturers in the US during the 1960s. The company shut down in 1998, but was back into production under the Colonial Cutlery International Corporation in 2001.

Old Cutler and Colonial Dates

Post by Paladin »

Guys:
I have an Old Cutler stockman and I found in Goins that they started in 1977 but when did production stop?
Along the same line, when did Colonial cease operation?
Anyone have these dates?

Thanks,
Ray

Ray, Bobby P. seems to have all that information.

I received an email reply from Mr. P and he says that production on the Old Cutler line lasted until 1998.
