I haven't blogged in a while and I apologize for that...its not something that comes natural to me, but what is on my mind has to do with spiritual warfare, something not of this world but effects us all, a battle for the human race. If I believe in right and wrong or another way of saying it, to beehive in good and evil, I choose good.

Colonial Cutlery is once again a proud product sponsor to the Mount Washington Valley Ice Festival
30 YEARS AND COUNTING!
Welcome to the Mount Washington Valley Ice Fest!
Started by Rick Wilcox and Nick Yardley in 1993, the Mt. Washington Valley Ice Fest has been the premier ice climbing event in the northeast ever since. The founders were inspired by other events in the country which featured ice climbing clinics, slideshows, and of course beer and a fun community atmosphere (read: a big party of climbers).
Now 30 years in, the party continues this upcoming February 3-5, 2023.
This event is eagerly anticipated by ice climbers in the Eastern United States and is considered one of the premier climbing events in the country. It is a celebration of ice climbing and winter mountaineering, and the people that make it a part of their lives. It continues to provide a great opportunity for those attending to network, socialize, try new gear and participate in multiple day courses, one-day technical clinics and privately guided climbs. MWV Ice Fest welcomes climbers from all different backgrounds. Whether you are LGBTQIA+, adaptive, POC, we are striving to be an inclusive festival.
The Mount Washington Valley is one of the finest waterfall ice climbing destinations in North America. Each year we offer a variety of skills-based clinics and exciting slide shows with featured climbers and guides from the New England area and around the world.

"Blade magazine review of the Colonial Pocket Size Survival Kit states the kit is well thought out"
Article written by Josh Wayner, April 2022 issue of Blade magazine
Prepping and survival equipment came to the forefront of public attention about 15 years ago, the public has taken a keen interest in survival and its tactics. Shows like Alone, Survivor man, Life Below Zero and others captured the interest of many, and bush crafting, foraging and fieldcraft exploded in popularity. Suffice to say there is no shortage of specialized equipment to better your odds in a bad place.
SURVIVAL-KIT THEORY- the writer of the article "I would classify our trio of review kits as last ditch in that they contain a variety of small items not meant for extended use but rather as a single-day advantage. The items can save your life in a pinch.
YOUR SITUATION- making it through a situation into which you may, or may not have intentionally entered, say a kayak tipping over in the river after hitting an underwater tree. You are a forward thinker, slipped the Colonial Pocket Size Survival Kit into the dry bag you stowed in your kayak before you fell in. You're wet, and you don't have the rest of your gear. You're in normal temperate conditions, but nightfall will be cold. To make matters worse, your kayak has cracked and has taken on water.
To continue to offer the the public an in-depth look into the Colonial Knife Company, we have decided to update the website to be more informative by adding additional information including patents, trade-marks and images in a more extensive format-the additional information is time consuming but we plan to have it completed soon.
Since 2003, Colonial Cutlery International (CCI) has carried on the proud tradition of the Colonial Knife Company. With American-made blades alongside quality imports, Colonial continues to deliver dependable knives backed by decades of craftsmanship, experience, and customer loyalty.
Owner of Colonial Knife and Colonial Cutlery International, Inc. passes away at 87.
