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?

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.

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.

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.

This one came today.
The packaging is a bit shelf worn but still OK.
Model 51.

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.
