Colonial Knife Company Collector's Forum

Colonial Knife was incorporated in 1926 by three brothers; Antonio, Domenic, & Fredrick Paolantonio. It grew to become one of the largest pocket knife manufacturers in the US during the 1960s. The company shut down in 1998, but was back into production under the Colonial Cutlery International Corporation in 2001. Colonial Cutlery International, Inc. brand is the imported line of knives and tools while the U.S.A.- made products fall under the Colonial Knife brand.

I said it on the Bobby P thread, that knife is spectacular. ::ds::
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I purchased this Anil knife with a Majestic watch and I was wonder if you could please tell me around what year they where sold.I try keep records and pictures of all my knive collection and years they where made.The knife has ANVIL Stainless USA on the tang.

I see a different opinion, but Majestime and anvil were likely in the mid-late 70's.
60s-80s is the date range but the watch has markings that can identify it for more exact dating.
It caught my eye as a vintage pocket watch and colonial collector, a nice set !

I've posted one picture of this on Bob's memorial page. Here are a few more I took today of one Bob would be proud of.

A RAP prototype Stockman in mother of pearl with Old Cutler Blades and frame, featuring Bob's signature file work on all three blades, liners and backsprings, Clint Orms custom engraved bolsters, and BP-1 engraved on the mark side bolster.

Bob showed a similar stockman here:

He said he never saw a pearl knife he didn't love. I'm proud to own such a fine display of an American Cutler's talent.
That';s a freaking masterpiece for sure. WOW!!!!

I have this little solid bolster that I'm holding on to and carrying.
