Re: Colonial Knife Company Collector's Forum

Joe, I like that scrawny little jack in the first picture.

Re: Colonial Knife Company Collector's Forum
I picked up this knife/hatchet combo at a flea market last Sunday. It has not been carried or sharpened.
In spite of the stain on the leather it's in pretty good condition. I cleaned it up a little.
In a brief search I found several similar sets by different makers.
Thanks for looking.

Here's a nice Colonial Forest Master I got at a indoor flea market today. The punch is actually sharp. 3 3/4"

Re: Colonial Knife Company Collector's Forum
Posted this on several threads but am still desperately searching for info on this knife.. Was it, in fact, made by Colonial? Either way, I feel that it belongs in this forum. Thanks in advance for any info and hope you enjoy!
