Re: Giant Jack Knife - Pilot's Survival
Don't know if everyone is aware that Colonial was not the only manufacturer of these knives. I found one marked United Cutlery Co. Grand Rapids Michigan.I found another Colonial that was tipped slightly at a yard sale for $15 awhile back.A little belt sander massage and it is good as new albeit about 1/4" shorter. I have and original sheath for one of them.

Re: Giant Jack Knife - Pilot's Survival
Thats kind of typical of thing made for the military. I have a 1917 Colt 45 revolver and one made by Smith and Wesson that are identical. When Colt couldn't keep up with demand our government took Colts design gave it to SW.knife7knut wrote:Don't know if everyone is aware that Colonial was not the only manufacturer of these knives.

Not to get off track completely...
IMHO the best .45 EVER Browning
I bought maybe 20 of them, and made 12-15 great shooters out of parts.
