The Colt Collection

Post by Absintheur »

My collection of the brown stag Colts is just about complete. From the first one of these I was impressed with the fit and finish and overall quality the knives exhibited. All of these get worked into my EDC rotation but I do have favorites. One of the things I find most desirable about these are the blade shapes. A lot of spear points, all with great swedges and many with long pulls. Of all the inexpensive Chinese made knives, these are by far my favorites.

I too have been impressed with the looks and quality/price ratio of these Colt knives. The brown stag bone handles are really beautiful IMO. I carried one of the teardrop jacks for a year and really found nothing to complain about in the way it functioned. I'm packing a Canal Street congress for now but that Colt is still in my standby pile waiting its turn back in my pocket.

Nice looking collection Abs. ::tu::

Absintheur,

Very nice collection. I too was impressed by the level of quality in the new Colt line of slippies, particularly these of the Brown Stag Bone Series. I only have two of them, the two Gunstocks........

......very well put together slipjoints. Rock solid fit and finish. A mite fancier overall than what I prefer in my slippies but I ain't complaining. And for the money a real hard one to beat.

I have a few American made pieces in my collection that costed individually twice as much as both of these together that ain't fit as well.

Great knives for the money. ::tu::

The tear drop jack is one of my favorites, I bought this one on Ebay with the bear already inlet into the bone...just really caught my eye. It is the first of the Colts I bought and I was so impressed with the overall quality I decided to collect the entire set of brown stag. It is kinda neat to own a complete set of anything and these are inexpensive enough for anyone to collect a full set.

Awesome collection Absintheur, ::groove::

2xTap, Them are real pretty for sure ::tu::

Here is the only Colt I own. Although a really small knife, the fit and finish is right there... I bought this one because it looked cool, Now I may be buying a few more. For the $14.00 I spent, I was impressed with the box alone, not to mention the fantastic bonestag handles. Truly a big knife of small size in a lockback.

I placed an order at Smokey Mountain Knife Works and because it was over $100 they included this Colt for free. Just got it last night, I'll give it a try.
