Colonial Swiss Masters...I Had No Idea...

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.

Colonial Swiss Masters...I Had No Idea...

Post by knifeaholic »

Not my auction, and I'm not bidding.

I recall the Swiss Master SAK "knockoffs" that Colonial made, but I had no idea that they made so many different full size models.

I realize this is a few years old, but do you by chance have any of these? I've been looking for the #2006 Trail Guide for a minute now.

I still have all six of these #2003 Alpines.
I know that I have other Colonial sak style knives, but not sure which ones.
I will check later and get back with you.

Thanks for taking the time to check. The 2006 is elusive, must have been a limited run. i have a 2008, its just slightly too big for my pocket.
