Re: Colonial knife company?
I have an old colonial with a cracked handle. Will the warranty cover that.

Found a few more while sorting out the Imperials blister packs I posted in the Shell thread. (I think this is the last of um )
Thanks for your approval folks. There's just no way to display these things unless I put a store display isle in my living room .

Re: Colonial knife company?
Suhweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet knives Joe!!
I just landed this white Colonial. I believe it was imprinted....in the right light you can see the word "ALASKA" and a team of dogs pulling a sled.
Also, look closely at the blade, I know it's KNOT damascus, but doesn't the staining look cool?

Re: Colonial knife company?
Cool patina, Scott! Musta been kept next to a celluloid out-gassing.
Want to force a patina... try a little nitric acid!
You can see the sled dogs on the handle by tilting the computer screen.
I think it was supposed to look like that. It's just a whiteout condition....

Re: Colonial knife company?
Yep! Seriously!
Nitric acid loves to feed on carbon steel. It will etch it's way all the way through
the blade if left in check. NASTY STUFF... glad it wasn't on an old vintage classic!

Re: Colonial knife company?
Here's a few colonials I have laying around.
The last one I have already posted on another thread. I recently replaced the broken handle with jigged bone. I am not sure the stockman is a colonial. Just a hunch? It is only stamped Made In USA. If anybody knows for sure, I would appreciate the correction. Also, does anyone know where to pick up a period replacement shield?

Re: Colonial knife company?
I grew up with those old Colonials from the early to mid 1900`s and still have a few. First one has the very old C. K. Co.(in a rectangle) stamp(pictured). I recently found what I think is a really old jumbo stockman that has swedges on BOTH sides of the master blade to the tip! First time I`ve ever run across one like this. Hopefully Steve can comment on some of these unordinary models( dont have photo of the double swedge knife yet but will ost here soon). Also, another of the Colonial stock knives I have(pictured) looks to have a very early razor type blade rather than a spey spey blade(patent #3,317,996). These early Colonials were VERY well made knives that really take and hold and edge and amazingly maintain their "snap" better than many of the early 1900`USA knives and I`ve never seen the old imitation bone models to disintigrate like other old celluloid knives. See photos.

Re: Colonial knife company?
Dug out most of the Colonials that I own. The first six knives are the old Colonials, all have solid bolsters are are fairly well made knives. All except the large stockman have the curved "Colonial" marking that Goins dates from 1926 - 1938, the large stockman with the jigged composition handles has the "CKCo" in a rectangle that Goins dates to 1933 (edited from 1936). The stockman with the faux stag handles has the straight Colonial marking and appears to be from the 1960's - 70's(?). The odd thing about the last knife is that it has three backsprings even though it superficially looks like a "normal" stockman, I guess that they figured it was cheaper to add a backspring than to crink the blades properly. It's interesting to look at the long nail pulls on the old Colonials (especially the bottom knife in the first picture). They are larger and deeper than any others I have ever seen except for a Bridge Cut. Co. knife that I own.

Re: Colonial knife company?
A couple of Colonials. The handles are hollow, and the paint job on them makes me chuckle. Almost like they were trying to make them look as fake as possible.
I am not sure if the sheath is original to the Barlow or not. Both have very hearty blades.

Re: Colonial knife company?
I love those old Colonials here is a kinda modern one our shop handed out for safety awards it's a lockback not a bad knife but still not a Buck quality.

Re: Colonial knife company?
Here are a few old Colonials I've picked up recently, the red one really caught my eye as I haven't seen many with that color scheme, plus the nice shield and bolsters...
The brown "wood grain" looking one is just marked "made in usa" and the black one I am suspecting to be the oldest of the three as it had the curved Colonial stamp over Providence RI.
Something about the old Colonials that I love....

Re: Colonial knife company?
Seems like I'm the last one to have posted any Colonials since three weeks ago! Well, I'm always keeping my eyes open for the older ones and pick them up when the price is right....here's my latest, I love the blue swirl, the serpentine shape, very pleasing to the eye! Solid feeling knife with tons of snap and no wobble on either of the blades. Couple swipes on the stone and she's sharp as can be. Anyone else want to post up some cool old style Colonials...?

Re: Colonial knife company?
I landed this Colonial Mountain Guide utilty knife which led me to contact Colonial Knife for more details. Come to find out, it's STILL under warranty, was produced between 1970 and 1999. AND................I've been talking with the founders grandson, Steve Paolantonio, and he is planning to send some old brochures to photograph for my blog and my friends here at AAPK!!! He's also sending a couple current knives to review in my blog!
Anyhow....
