Nice little Colonial

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 Cutlery International, Inc. brand is the imported line of knives and tools while the U.S.A.- made products fall under the Colonial Knife brand.

Nice little Colonial

Post by Landersknives »

Picked up this little jewel and I love the scales. Very easy to carry. Great walk and talk...just a really nice little knife. Tell me what you think.

Yes I believe they are. If not celluloid a material similar.

doglegg sent me this nice little 2 3/4" Colonial stockman as part of the POS exchange. I cleaned it up and sharpened it and am using it as a EDC now, There is a nick in the master blade, and the tip of the sheepsfoot isn't the best, but I intend to used it and those problems will go away with the next couple of sharpenings.

Colonial made the Ranger line of knives. It was one of their brands.

This is one pocket knife out of a lot/group of four pocket knives that I bought. It is unmarked/unbranded, but with careful comparison of this pocket knife to other definitely known to be COLONIAL pocket knives, I'm 99.99% sure that it's a COLONIAL. With those green handles, it will make a good looking carry for St. Patrick's Day.☘
