I've had my eyes open for a long time for an Anvil Stockman in decent condition - found one in a pawnshop earlier this week. OH

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
Thanks Scott - it has good walk and talk, no wobble, the plastic is shrinking a tad bit, but a good representative piece. David - you have been buying them all up! Nice collection of Colonials. OH

I am excited to post my first pictures in this thread.
This first picture is one of my favorite Colonial pictures. Not only are they a couple of my favorite Colonial knives but I really like this picture.
I am also adding another Colonial Fish knife I like very much. This beautiful brown celluliod. I bought this beauty from a very nice guy right here on AAPK! Thank you Knifeaholic!

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I'm listing some knives in LOTS tonight and was kinda goin' through this pile of steel when I stumbled on this carver. I said to myself.....I think I'll make this into a blade lifter by hacking of 95% of the blade and.......wait......better see if there is a tang stamp.
When I saw it I thought of our new AAPK member Brain.....
Thought I'd share it here..

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I had time to take a few more pictures today.
These Colonial jack knives were made in so many colors and are a lot of fun.
One of the white ones is bigger than the others and has 3 blades instead of 2. Its the only one I have ever seen this size. The green one is my favorite out of these. Love that green and it has a swedge on the blade that just looks cool.
Also, notice the 2 white ones. One is a little bigger than all the others and has a 3rd blade, a spey blade. This is the only one of these I have ever seen.
Must be more somewhere but I dont think they made as many or I would have found them and bought them by now. (Just kidding.. but maybe not) (Colonials... Its a sickness!)

Today I have a neat old CKCO marked Colonial made between 1926 and 1938. I love the colorful old ones.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
Thanks!
Happy to have someone that can enjoy these with me. My wife can only say " Yes dear, very nice picture" so many times!
Quick one for today. 2 white Colonial Trappers.
Interesting comparison. Old and Older.
One is the curved stamp from 1926 to 1938 and the other one is from about 1973.
I made the picture look like it was from an old photo album.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
B. Mauser,
Very nice! Any of the older USA made knives are great, used to not think too highly of Colonials, etc.. but they have become a lot more appealing as I learn more about them. I guess I found out there was more to life than Case, Tree brand and Old Timer

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
Hi Treefarmer, and thank you.
Yes I agree there are so many amazing old USA made knives.
Colonial is my favorite but I like a bunch of others too. I will eventually start taking pictures of some of my others. Kabar and Kent NY are a couple other real fun ones I like.
But I have a bunch of Colonials to finish first.
I am taking pictures of Forest Masters today.
Here is a quick one while I finish.

Here is a fun one. A Colonial toothpick easy open, handles replaced with micarta.
This changes the knife so much. Adds a little weight and make the knife very solid.

Very nice knives, Brian. I do like that toothpick.
I have had knives rehandled and it really makes them useful again gives them a great new look.
