All About Pocket Knives

It was a marvelous day for me as I received a package from Steve Paolantonio, Pres of Colonial Knife Corp.

Included was some vintage graphics....check these pics out!

Great score Scott!
I have one of the small Ranger knives, a mini peanut style jacknife I think, but I didn't know they made a Barlow in that line, that looks like one to keep my eyes open for! Interesting that mine isn't stamped Colonial, just RANGER PROV USA. That is one of the things I've noticed about Colonial is that they have alot of different tang stampings, and some of their knives don't have any stampings other than Made in USA or just USA....
Great graphics, that was mighty generous of him to send them to you...Hopefully when the book eventually comes out some of those graphics and others like it will be included!

And keep this in mind..............................this isn't from the grandson who is writing the book!!!

WAY COOL Scott!

These are my two nicest Colonial knives, both brand new. The fish knife photo was downloaded off of the e-bay auction that I bought it off of - still not sure if I am even going to open the blister package. The reverse dog leg jack was new without packaging when I bought it at a pawn shop. Looking forward to the book, I like 'working class" knives.

O.H. Very nice

Knive O.H.!! I'd leave it in the blister pack.

The new Colonial barlow I just purchased will probably never see any carry time......

Here's a clearer shot of the stag handles on this Colonial Old Cutler by R.A.P. Knife

Nice one Scott. Here is the only Colonial I have in my collection. Not sure what the vintage is but it looks like it was used and carried, note the pits in the blades. The handle scales are tight and in good shape, just scratched up a little.

This is the Colonial Old Cutler Texas Jack I received yesterday. In examining this knife I would put it in the same class as an Imperial-Frontier or Schrade Old Timer; solid, well fitted Delrin handles with substantial blades and brass liners. Top (I take it the USMC uses the same nickname for a 1SG that the Army uses) your knife has an additional hawkbill blade that the standard electrician model (like mine) lacks - it must be Colonial's "Deluxe" Electrician model.

Old Hunter, Nope I am a MSgt, not a 1stSgt. Good looking Colonial you got there.

Here is my smallest Colonial, just a little sliver of a knife. I like the fact that the tang stamping is horizontal along the tang so it can fit on the tiny little blade, kinda unique. Too bad it doesn't show up all that well on the pic, but I think ya get the idea.

To simply view the images, welllll....................

Great stuff Scott! Your blog is a cool place to visit, I appreciate and share your passion for the steel! That knife/multi-tool looks like quite the beast, and I've never seen the stone with the sheath before, great Colonial collectables Scott, way to go!
Mike

Thanks Mike!!

Scott, more cool Colonial stuff - keep it coming!

Here is my latest, put a quickie picture of it on the general thread up top, but needed to put a better picture here in the Colonial thread as well; my NOS Colonial Old Cutler 3-3/8" smooth Delrin handled, jack knife from an e-bay auction last week. It came in a worn, red, two piece box with instructions and a warranty number - guessing it to be from the 1970's or 1980's.

Suhweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet knife OH!!

I received a package from Colonial Knice Co today with some knives for review....thought I'd share them here....

In addition was this polishing towel, item flyers and a decal!

Looks like some more good stuff Scott! You are going to have to come up with a special way to display all of your Colonial stuff in one spot, you've got some really unique stuff now, would make for a cool display....That girl scout knife looks mighty fine...
Mike

Scott,
Where can I find one of those Girl Scouts? That is really an eye catcher!

Randy-

Try Amazon, eBay.....I found a Girl Scout on eBay bid up to 18.00 yesterday.

I talked with Steve P. yesterday. Those are imports and there were 2500 of each handle made.....

He told me to hold onto mine and give it to my daughter!

Scott, nice Colonials! How about finding out from your source if the blue Official Cub Scout/USA on Colonial's website is available for purchase? I can see it on their website, but cannot figure out how to buy one. You could become a Colonial dealer - we could order from you! Thanks, Bruce (OH)

Yeah, I've wanted that same knife Bruce (that's my brother's name).....
I'll check into it.

here is a couple colonials i picked up
