Condition Grade: Very Good condition, displaying exceptional eye appeal for an antique edged weapon. Condition Issues: The steel blade shows minor superficial scuffing, light evidence of period edge sharpening, and sparse pinprick oxidation. Dimensions: The knife features a substantial 10-inch clip-point blade. Pertinent Markings & Features: The ricasso features prominent blade markings reading "COLLINS & CO. HARTFORD / ACERO FINO / CALIDAD GARANTIZADA / LEGITIMUS" under the iconic arm-and-hammer crown logo, alongside a rare "2 TON" model strike. Completeness: The knife itself is entirely complete with its original ribbed leather washer handle and tight steel crossguard, and it comes paired with a modern replacement leather sheath. Historical Background: Originally introduced in the late 19th to early 20th century, this celebrated Collins & Co. design bridged the gap between utility machetes and combat fighting blades, marking it as a highly prized, elite piece of American cutlery history.
