  Colonial knife has a long history of producing both commerical and military knves. It has had great success with its' M-724 autos, which are essentially updated MC-1 parachute knives that Colonial revamped with modern materials and construction techniques. As popular as the knives were with the military, Colonial's Steve Paolantonio knew there was more potential in the design for the commerical market. He just needed the touch of an expert designer to bring it to the next level.

     Fast-forward to 2011 and a fortuitous meeting with renowned knife -designer Walter "Blackie" Collin's during a popular East Coast knife show. Steve and Blackie hit it off, and along with Blackie's wife, Jane, they sat down and hashed out the details for a olonial/Clooins collaboration. Blackie left the show with a number of the Colonial ribbed and keychain series autos. Within a couple weeks, Steve received a call that Blackie had come up with a set of new blades for the two styles of knife. Blackie had designed a sleek tanto design for the ribbed auto and a fuilly serrated blade for the keychain. The two hammered out al licensing agreement and some blade optkions. Prototyping of the blades began. Unfortunatley, in July 2011 and wihin weeks of all this happening, Steve received a phone a call informing im that Blackie had died in a motocycle accident. Blackie's passing dind't stop his legacy from continuing on, and by working with Blackie's widow, Jane, the Blackie Collins Signature series knives were born.
