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.

Thanks Jerry. One of my main goal in my collection is to try and display the knives the way they would have been in the hardware stores back in the day. I like the catalogs, cases, and accessories that came along with them. Remington took the advertising to a whole new level. I have a piece in the mail now that im pretty excited to show off when it gets here.

Great idea Kieth. Nice display of the stockman!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

This was in my mailbox this morning. I have a theory of what it's for. Interested to here what you think it for. Late 30's stamp.

The Remington catalog states it's an adjustable box cutter. Not at home so I forget the pattern number. Some have listed it as a clam shucker of all things. Nice example Keith, I have a Morton's salt advertising example.

Box cutter is what I thought it was. I'd love to see the add if you get a chance.

I like that. Whoever the guy in charge of advertising in the 30's for Remington was a busy feller

They were doing what they could to stay solvent in a bad economy called the Depression. I wrote about this in part in an article for Knife World July 2015. ::nod::

I may have posted this before but it is a nice easy open knife and I am trying to learn how to post pictures. Don't recall pattern number.

Your bulldog HTT is great and correct. Some had tang stamps and some did not. I have an example of both. Nice knife and worth around $550. Take care, John Davis

John, I think you are responding to a post I made a while back about my HTT Bulldog. If so, thank you! I sent you a Private Message a few months ago. You can check it by clicking on the private messages link near the top right corner of the screen.

I would enjoy seeing pictures of you Bulldogs if you don't mind posting them.

Obviously I like the original 1123. But tell me more about the knife you made. Beautiful handles. Did you make everything? Or did you use a Remington frame. Very nice. Thanks for showing us.

I used the original as a pattern to get the measurements for the custom. It has all nickel silver parts except the blades and backsprings that are made from 154CM stainless steel. I make all the parts with bandsaw, drill press, and belt sanders starting with sheet and bar stock. I do the heat treating myself.

Not very many. Just a hobby. Maybe 6-8 a year with 10-12 if I feel energetic! Mostly fixed blade hunters with a few slip joint folders thrown in.
