Remington Photos

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

R323? I would love to learn more about this knife. Is this stag? I can't tell if the last number is a 3 5 or 6.

R3233, handled in bone. I'm pretty sure Remington never produced that pattern in stag. Acorn shield, punch blade, long pull main blade. Looks good. ::tu::

Thanks. I thought all the bone was darker and the stag was the lighter color. Any idea of the value?

The first I'll put up is a R1123 that my Dad bought at a hardware store in Stamford, Tx in about 1932 or 1933, not really sure on the exact date. I started using it, yes, using it, in my teens. I must have skinned and cut the pecker out of about a thousand racoons with it. Then I went on to deer hunting and used it on field dressing and skinning.
On the second, I am told they called the scales Irish Soap.
Third is just a nice littel pearl with some spots.
I am convinced that Remington knives at the time were the best made in the USA. :D 8)
Paladin,you are one lucky man to have that awesome Bullet trapper,They all are very nice.I love the Remington Bullet Knives,I wish I had some of the old ones.

I don't come over here, cause I really don't have many Remingtons. The knives on this thread are amazing, so my rusty junkers hardly compare, but I thought I'd share.

This first one is no longer mine, I just traded it off...

Got lucky and scooped this up today in a bag of knives for $10...can anyone tell me anything about the age of this knife, there are no pattern numbers on it?

This last one was a steal on ebay awhile ago...got it for around $6.00 shipped. #R8063

Thanks for looking.

Just received this knife - it is a Remington Bulldog and advertised in the HTT magazine. ObsidianEdge (Mike) posted pictures of his knife and the magazine advertisement a couple of pages earlier in this thread.

The knife feels right and the bone is the traditional and beautiful Remington bone from the era when this knife was produced. It operates easily, the blade is tight, and it snaps solidly both ways.

The blade gives me a little concern when I compare it to the picture from the magazine. The tang stamp is missing on my knife and the blade does not appear to be polished. I couldn't readily see the tang stamp on Mike's example either, but the tang stamp in the magazine picture is prominent. Also, the etch on my blade appears to be lower than both Mike's example and the magazine picture.

I realize these knives were made by hand and there will be normal variations.

Does anyone see any reasons to be concerned about this knife?

My only concern is that you have it and I don't. lol Great bone on that one and a fine looking knife, if it is original or not.
