Old Cutler

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! I like it! ::tu:: ::nod:: And those Lansky's are really something else aren't they. ::tu:: ::nod::
Yes I really like the Lansky turnbox. Makes sharpening knives a lot easier for me...Nick

Two new Old Cutler knives in one day ! My wife is giving me funny looks but has held her peace so far. One I got from my Ebay seller to make up for a faulty Forest Master and the other came from JP (ripster). Really happy with both. Thanks JP

Thanks JP. I'm remodeling my little man cave this week and have all my stuff packed up. Amazing how much I miss being able to admire my knives and old computers.

First Old Cutler Muskrat I've seen so I had to buy it. It's in new condition and works great.

Nice!

My Granddad gave me this four-bladed Stockman some years ago. A really odd one I haven't seen too many of. But, a really nice blade combo, utilizing the same hawkbill blade from the Swiss Army Knockoffs in the Swiss Master line.

Very nice Nick. I have found that the Old Cutler knives are built well. Great EDC's. Good on JP for sending you the other. Great bunch here at AAPK.

Got this new Old Cutler from Ebay this week. A stockman with fancy file work. At first I thought it was a knife that someone had taken apart and customized but after seeing three of them listed recently I guess it is some sort of factory issued knife after all. It's in good shape except it looks like someone tried to sharpen the main blade on a grinder.

Do you recall if it has this same handle and pattern? Wondering if they did the file work on other patterns.

Same pattern but different handles. There is a thread here of fancy file work. I think a couple are shown there.

A few more that I have slowly added to my Old Cutler stash.
A really nice 4 blade stockman like the one Cody showed earlier in excellent condition.
A jack knife with the same caramel color handles -- I already have a matching stockman.
And last is a jack knife with the fake stag handles that matches my stockman with the serrated sheepsfoot blade.
I really don't understand my fascination with these Old Cutlers but it's been fun finding various versions in good condition.
These are all seller photos cause I'm too lazy to do my own right now.
