UPDATE: A Note From Joe

Joe Keating aka “Joe Dirt”Jul 1, 8:00 am

“I need to clear things up a bit here. The “AAPK” (All About Pocket Knives.com) web site belongs to Mr. Bryan Sanders. He is one of the nicest guys you will ever run across. His site has a nickname: “The Friendliest Site On The Web”. The site contains a knife forum where you can talk, show off, ask questions and MUCH, MUCH more! – FREE Membership to boot!”


Our Reply:

     Our apologies to Mr. Sanders and thanks to Joe. We still love and reccommend this site.

It was only through dedication, hard work , persistance and learning that Colonial Knife grew to be the second largest knife manufacturing company in America. ok….I’ll admit being a bunch of stubborn Italians helped. Hey, read the book and you will get it. Meanwhile there are so many new business today taking the same journey as the Paolantonio’s did so very many years ago.  As Jerry Garcia said ” What a long strange trip it’s been.” read the book and you will know just what building a successful business involves.
Here’s an interesting blog about   a traveler  on this same type of  journey. Please check it out.
