BOBBY PAOLANTONIO - May I Please Have Some Assistance

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.

Well, well gentlemen..... ::handshake::
I'm just here to defend the fact that this is NOT a Colonial!! big surprise..!!
These blades have Camillus written all over them....take it from me..
My older knife company Heritage, bought over 7k knife part sets in 7 different styles from
our good old friends at Camillus..( see purchase orders to and from in my book).
But this knife has CHINA all over it too!! Older tools sold to China maybe, and clearly assembled and finished over seas. Bolster's hefted vertical, bold large pins, scraping of
secondary blades...this thing is a cutler's nightmare!! It's being sold because it would cost a cutler more to fix it, than the selling price would show any profit!
Besides, why "fix" a one dollar knife!! ::dang::

I happen to know Kevin P. personally and would be shocked if he tried to tarnish his well earned reputation involving this item. ::hmm::

Is this just one knife and how much are they asking???? ::shrug:: ::shrug::
