I've just received 3 folders in this Colt series. They've been around for a couple of years but i don't see a thread for these and i'm impressed enough to think them worthy of being shown.
The handles are checkered bone, the blade action is all good and the in-hand feel is quite satisfying.
My favorite of these 3 might be this 3 1/2" Serpentine Stockman:
Here is a 3 3/4" Rail Splitter:
The in-hand feel of this Rail Splitter reminds me of the pre WW II USA big folders by Camillus, Ulster Knife Co. etc.
The 3rd one is a Huge 4 7/8" Stockman that is a copy of an old Wostenholm pattern:
Here are both Stock knives; 3 1/2" and 4 7/8", back side:
If you have other examples of these Colt 175th Anniversary knives, please do post them.
