Re: Grandfathers colonial knife
Hi and welcome to AAPK. Your knife is a low end knife as far a collectability is concerned but as a family treasure it's value is probably much greater. It doesn't appear to have seen much use so either your Grandfather had another knife or two, or just didn't use a knife for anything beyond opening mail. You could clean up the blades a little with the lead end of a #2 pencil and make it look a little fresher or put it in a drawer as it is and let it serve as a remembrance. ___Dave

Thanks
The past couple years I've been going to flea markets and knife shows collecting (Schrade case buck ) but I've been wanting to learn more and what to look for so I found this site.

Hi and welcome to AAPK Follow this link to the Colonial post by BonfireBob. http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kni ... 87&t=32527 His family started the Colonial Knife Co. Bob passed away sometime ago. He was a very nice guy! Good luck! The search for info on any knife is a rewarding adventure! You may want to re-post your question over there.

Your fortunate to have a knife from your grandfather!! It's priceless in that regard.
Not worth much however.

Clean it up, oil it up, and use it with grace.
Think of your grandfather when you carry it.

Re: Grandfathers colonial knife
It's a small Dog-leg Jack, cannot tell in your picture but it looks to be the size of a Peanut Knife - nice little jack for light duty and light carry in the front pocket. As someone already said - oil it - drop on each blade tang. OH
