Nice knife. Got mine in my pocket as we speak.

Knifeaholic is of course right on with his dating, I would concur with his time frame. Colonials are tough to date by stamp, have to do it on style and comparisons alone.

Thank you both for the replies. 👍
This is my first Colonial, it’s taken quite a good edge.
I like the condition of your knife, very nice 🫡 especially the handle.
