If you weren’t aware, there aren’t going to be anymore Colt knives. After Colt’s bankruptcy, they decided to get out of the knife business. There are still some leftover Colt brand knives that were produced before the decision, but those are going fast. One model, the Colt Buckshot Bone Skinner, was a late arrival from the factory and has just made its way onto the market. This traditional, fixed blade, skinning knife with matching ferro rod and leather sheath is an instant classic.
