Good score!m0nk wrote: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!

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.

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.

The packaging is a bit shelf worn but still OK.

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.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
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.

Scott, do you have to open the near blade first in order to reach the nail nick on the back blade?

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I stumbled across a nice collection of knives a few weeks ago and found a pristine Colonial from somewhere in the 80s. I have a few other Colonial knives, but not one as long as this gem!
