What Our Customers Say
"
Techni-Tool, Inc. has been a long time customer of Colonial Knife Company and for good reason.
Techni-Tool, Inc. is an international distributor of tools and equipment used in the electronic production industry. We have been in business for over forty-five years and supply these products to some the largest companies in the world. As such we need to select vendors which meet our high standards who can provide not only quality products but also can deliver the world class service that our customers demand of us.
Colonial Knife, for many years, has proven themselves to be one of those vendors over and over again. Techni-Tool, Inc. not only relies on Colonial Knife to provide manual cutting tools sold under the Colonial Knife brand but also trust them to be the manufacture of the Techni-Tool brand of cutting tools
In today’s business climate the idea of partnership between a client and a vendor is often lost in finding the lowest price. At Techni-Tool, Inc. we pride ourselves on seeking out those special few vendors who feel that there is more to the sale than just the price. This is how we treat our customers and how we expect to be treated by our vendors. Steve and all the employees of Colonial Knife understand what a true partnership involves and are willing to make that commitment to their customer each and every day.
It is an honor to be partnered with Colonial Knife"

"Dear Steve,
I wanted to let you knife know how impressed I was during our meeting on April 1st. 2004. Not only were you able to provide me with a lot of information about Colonial Knife and its history, but you also listened to what our needs were, here at Stanley Works-Jensen. I really appreciate you looking into the specialty knife we were interested in. It is so great to have a supplier who still takes pride in their craft and can deliver high quality products on time, every time! I look forward to taking you up on your custom product design abilities again in the near future."

My name is SPC Thomas R. Marrs. I am a rifleman with the 1st. of the 327th infantry Brigade of the 101st. Airborne Division air assault. I’m currently deployed in Northern Iraq and just recently purchased your WWII Mark 1 Navy Deck knife. I’m writing you to tell you what a valuable asset it has been to my combat equipment. Your knife has proved itself time and again in combat and in everyday use and truly lives up to its name as a combat utility knife.
I look forward to using this knife every day and more than once it has pulled me out of a bind and just know that your great knife is serving again 50 years later in the arid deserts of Iraq and is performing wonderfully.
Thanks again guys and thanks for letting a little piece of history hang at my side during this war on terrorism."

"Dear Colonial knife,
Thank you for your prompt reply to my email concerning the U.S. Navy Mark 1 Combat Utility knife I purchased.
Your company’s idea to reproduce this knife was great. It’s a well-designed knife and your reproduction affords us the opportunity to enjoy a bit of history.
Sincerely,"

"Steve,
I took your advise on that Barlow. I cleaned it up, sharpened it, and carry it every day. The steel took and has held an edge well. I hope 2014 is prosperous for you. I will call you later in the year to discuss a purchase."

"I am a full time firefighter and use knives multiple times daily. After researching your US made products, I plan to purchase one (or more) of your knives in the very near future. I was wondering if the glass breaker on the 505 Rescue Hook is available on the 550 Ranger. From the pictures that I have seen, they appear to be the same handle configuration. Because I use my knives for multiple purposes, I would love to add the convenience of a glass breaker to the versatility of the 550 Ranger (serrated if possible). If you were to add an oxygen wrench cutout to the handle, it would turn the 550 into a nearly perfect First Responder knife. Thanks for making such great products. I would love to hear your thoughts. Sincerely,"

"Dear friends,I wanted to personally thank you for making the contribution to us visiting guides of the fine knives you donated to the Mt Washington Valley Ice Festival 2014. That was above and beyond! Here is an image of my knife at work at the festival. I appreciate the gesture and your support of this great event! I know Rick and Celia both appreciate your enthusiasm and involvement.
All the best to you,"

"Hello, My name is Mark Grinder from Arkansas and I am an industrial electrician. I received the marlin spike as a birthday gift and I love it I use the knives I collect and this one is my 1st choice. It’s got a big handle so your hand doesn’t cramp up. A thick blade that takes everything I throw at it and the marlin spike is the best part. I do some rigging at work and rope work as a pastime. The spike has it covered! It also acts as an awl, I clear bolt threads with it, I pry with it and even align equipment bolt patterns. One word for this knife-INDESPENSIBLE!"

"I love that my Colonial Knife can take me from the top of a climb to the campsite. I can easily cut webbing or rope to make an anchor and cut cheese and veggies at the campsite at night."

"Dear Colonial,
A dear friend recently gave me a knife he had had since a little boy. It’s a small two-blade, ivory colored knife with the word "Keep Em Flying" imprinted. I was hoping you might tell me the age and possibly its history. Many thanks and thanks for making the wonderful knives for the Boy Scouts and the U.S. Army Paratroopers. I was both.
Best wishes"

"High quality products,- I’ve used the tat cutter numerous times to cut off the clothes of patients in my ER. Works great, faster and smaller than scissors. "

"When I first went off to college, my father dug around in his boxes, eventually producing a few pocket knives that he’d gotten form his father. He picked through them, looking for one in good condition. The one he eventually gave to me was a two blade Colonial ad knife that his father had owned, marked with Farms Assn.. I kept the knife with my treasured things, but didn’t dare use it for fear of damaging it. A few years later, I found an identical knife at a local store. Excited, I bought it and sharpened it. I own two Colonial knives that I know have proven themselves and, I hope, will continue to do so for decades to come."

Thanks for ´ol U.S. workmanship."
