Recently bought two of these Stockman frame, single blade linerlock knives off of eBay (actually just this morning) and am wondering if Colonial made it. Aside from the lock, it sure looks like a white scaled Ranger Stockman I have advertising a local feed store.

I have a Ranger stockman w/ that liner lock and it looks exactly like that. Whoever made that one made the Ranger too.

Here is a story of lakota knife co.
The knife sure looks like a Colonial and there is a pair on e-bay

The link in the story to the Lokata page is not alive. Lokata was having issues and had gone bankrupt but was trying to make a comeback.
I do not see and current info on them.

So…does Lakota=Colonial?

Yesterday morning, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. It now becomes my first example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, it did turn out to be a keeper. It did get added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a COLONIAL, one blade, one tang stamp, 4” closed, a long main blade pull, liner lock, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "COLONIAL (over) PROV. U.S.A.” The main handle side says, “NRA (logo) Millennium Member - Endowment” The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The main blade does have a GOOD closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT require any cleaning.
I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
