General Eisenhower

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.

General Eisenhower

Post by Thudichum »

I picked up a Knife yesterday in Dorking with tang marked only U.S.A., with a picture of General Eisenhower on one side. Found a General Grant version on Worthpoint with box of CKC. But can find no information about these knives online. Can anyone help with the provenance of these knives please?

I don't know much about these pocket knives. I do know that there is also a Patton,
a Rommel and a Grant pocket knife. I think there is a Lee pocket knife, but I'm not sure.
There may be even more military/historical figures pocket knives in the same pattern or
style. Again, I am not sure of this. Someone will stop by and answer your question(s).

Maybe Colonial? There also seems to be a lot of remakes in that style with Coca-Cola, Elvis, Popeye, Superman,etc., anything nostalgic. I'd be cautious. J.O'.

Interesting, only the second pocketknife I have seen with Ike on it. I have this Old Cutler stockman "Eisenhower" that was made by Colonial.
