The 4 1\/8” fat jack was made with two more tang stampings besides the Shur Snap\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/strong\u003e mentioned above. Those stamps are “Pronto\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/strong\u003e” and “Jiffy\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/strong\u003e” and these knives must have been made in smaller numbers because they are harder to find than the Shur Snaps\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/strong\u003e. With the addition of these two important variations, there are a total of 10 knives that you’d have to collect to have a good representation of Colonial\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/strong\u003e switchblade lineup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe Jumbo Jack\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/strong\u003e and Stubby knives\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/strong\u003e all have large round buttons.

The buttons on the rest of the \"Colonial Shur Snap\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\"\u003c\/strong\u003e knives help to tell us at what stage of production they were made; early, middle or late. I like to refer to these time differences as generations, four total. Those knives with large brass buttons are the oldest. I call them first generation and they were made in the late 1940s and early ’50s. A large button other than brass would be the second generation for the early 1950s. Small rounded buttons are the third generation and were made in the late 1950s. For the record, the handles on these were NOT made of celluloid as many collectors think. I wanted to be sure so I did the fire test on several handles. Celluloid\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/strong\u003e is extremely flammable and will ignite immediately upon contact with flame, while plastic will smoke. Also, the odors are very different. The Colonial Handles are some sort of plastic, not celluloid. Interesting, all of the Colonial switchblades\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/strong\u003e have the brand name over “Colonial” over “PROV USA” stamped on the front tang, but on most of the fishtails\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/strong\u003e, jacks, and Snappy\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/strong\u003e all that can be seen or the bottom stamp is “USA”. During the manufacturing, process groves must be cut into the tang of the blade for locking purposes and most the time these grooves must be cut right through the “PROV”, usually obliterating it, though sometimes part of it is still visible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePrinted by permission of Mark Erickson, author of “Antique American Switchblade, Identification Value”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBlade material: Tanto serrated ATS 34.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRockwell hardness 58C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBlade length: 3\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWeight: less than 1 0z.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIndestructible Glass-filled nylon handle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eNon-slip patented \"Tire Traction\" texture handle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSafety lock prevents accidental opening or closing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePush button to deploy the blade locking system for safety \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMates with M.O.L.L.E. vest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eLanyard hole accommodates 550 Para-cord.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePocket clip.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHandle Design: Rhode Island School of Design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBlade Design: Walter “Blackie” Collins, Cutlery Hall of Fame \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePrototype: Brown University\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMade in the U.S.A.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003elifetime Limited warranty\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Colonial Knife","offers":[{"title":"STRAIGHT EDGE Model 111","offer_id":939072911,"sku":"111","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":".5 SERRATED EDGE Model 110","offer_id":8118824960115,"sku":"110","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4003\/products\/Ranger_110_.5_serrated.jpg?v=1523796746","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialknifecorp.com\/products\/blackie-collins-model-108-special-operations-switchblade","provider":"��������ƽ̨�Ƽ�","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
