Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
The last one pictured, the cattle knife, I actually bought it with the intention of "converting" it into a custom by tossing the shell handles and making new brass liners, nickel silver bolsters, and rehandling. But it is in good shape and I have been carrying it "as is". Also am I correct in calling it a cattle knife as it does not have the awl or punch blade as cattle knives usually do?DM11 wrote:Old Cutler you certainly have a nice collection of Colonial knives!

Good looking collections y'all have! This little guy just arrived in the mail today and I'm so happy with it I had to post some pics. Direct from Colonial on sale this month, no tax and free shipping. Liner lock, thick 440C blade, just a great working knife. I intended to throw it in my toolbox but I don't know if I'll be able to keep it out of my pocket. And an unexpected surprise... it's serialized!

OC - I would just call it an equal end stockman. I've seen Case knives called stockmans that have a pen blade like yours instead of a sheepsfoot. Personally I don't care much for the traditional serpentine handles on my Case and Buck stockmans, so I like the cigar frame on yours. The other Colonial serpentine stockmans pictured above have a thicker cap end, which to me is more visually appealing than some of the other makes.OLDE CUTLER wrote: Also am I correct in calling it a cattle knife as it does not have the awl or punch blade as cattle knives usually do?

I sold off most of my Colonial collection around 3 years ago. After Bob P. passed away I sort of lost the "allure" of the Colonial brand. Something sparked me to start up again so here's a pic of my latest finds. More are on the way.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I just about got carpel tunnel scrolling through the entire thread to see what I had already posted.
The ones posted below bring me up to date.
A couple of Anvils. I really like the handles on these. A Ranger middle jack. And a lot of twelve (one is not Colonial) I bought from 313 Mike. Mostly advertisers. I think he was cleaning out his sock drawer.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I like the Anvils also. Nice shield and unique handles. I don't currently own one but I'm searching. I had one a few years back but sold it.
As always....should have kept it.

He is a large 3 blade stockman. My first impression at the Trade Days where I found it was, clean, excellent condition, sturdy and well made. It's just a beautiful ordinary knife and I couldn't pass it up. I just don't know yet the date etc.

Here is today's find at the bottom of a bunch of "junk" knives.A Colonial serpentine picture handle knife with a "bathing beauty"(sans bathing suit apparently;the picture is fading)photo.One of the front bolsters is missing and there was some rust on the blades that is cleaning up reasonably well and for $8 it was going home with me.
