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.

I feel like I'm the only one that collects Remington knives since Rocky isn't around as much anymore. ::shrug:: but I had to show off my newest display I filled. Hopefully someone will like looking at them.

I don't collect any one brand specifically but I will pick up a Remington whenever I can.

Awesome display and awesome knives in it!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Here is what I think is a rare one. R3863 and apparently came from the factory w/o a bail. I found this article that mentions the knife. I suppose the auto knife shield is meant the knife is for automobile use? Wonder if anyone would have a blade for this?

Jerry was kind enough to do some photo shopping and combine two on my pictures. I thought it was pretty cool and should be shared. Thanks Jerry.

Thanks for your thoughts Keith, surgery went well. They did a little more than expected when they got in there and started working but none the less healing well. Again, love your Remington knives and caboodle. ::tu:: ::super_happy::

I bought another Remington Dupont display. This is the preliminary layout. It will probably change between now and when I figure out how I'm going to fasten them to the board. My feelings don't get hurt if anyone has ideas on a better layout or on how they would attach them. Thanks Keith

Keith another great display of your Remington knives and your newly owned Remington display case.
If you are just displaying for the sake of show and tell any combination of what you have is great. If you are displaying them as in a theme, of coarse one could consider select/specific pattern groupings, or pattern categories. The select pattern or creative design in knife placement is IMHO up to the style and preference of the owner. Great showing Keith, keep 'em coming! ::tu:: ::super_happy::

P.s. Some caution on the spring stress related to a knife that is not setting in half stop or fully open/closed and remaining that way for a duration.

I've adjusted about 7 times since I post the picture. I cut a piece of q-tip and put it down inside liners. The blade actually rests on that. Would you recommend not having any blades in a 1/4 stop? Here is what I believe to be the final version. ::shrug::

Keith I'll leave it to the expert opinion of our knife mechanics on the forum. I have always been advised that it will weaken the springs over time. ::nod:: ::hmm::
P.s. Suggest that you take a picture of each of your adjustments and place them side by side for your final decision on what you like best. The Q-tip keeps the blade stationary but the spring is "engaged",( if you will) and has tension upon it. Some do say that it make no difference at all.

Thanks so much for your advice. I'll do some adjustments to not have tension on the springs
