Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?

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.

MB that little R7945 is an awesome knife. It is so solid in construction I've never seen one quit like this with regard to the super heavy brass liners...just amazing older knives. ::tu::

Got a new knife display case and a few new knives to put in her. ::ds:: The display is a Butler rounded glass small curio that can sit as is or be hung on a wall. If hung on the wall it has some ornate wood scroll similar to the top of the case that can be reattached to the bottom. The newer knives are as follows; Remington Nehi knife, Remington Carton knife cutter,( on top), various bandit knives by Camillus, a few advertisement penknives, Remington office knife and a few others. I'm certified nuts over the vintage Remington knives...well my wife says so anyway! ::facepalm::

Darn Edgy, that is fantastic! Great find. Love the bolsters and the overall shape. How big is it?
By the way MB I love that old red cattle at the top of the page, it is sweetness.
Rocky, great collection, thanks for sharing them. ::nod::

Thanks Knifetime. The Ringed bolsters also make it hard to tinker with. :D

Beechtree it is 4 1/2'' closed and thanks. It is listed in Remington Knives Past And Present by Stewart and Richie as 4 3/8''. Houston Price's 13th Official Price Guide To Collector Knives also lists it at 4 3/8''. ????????????????????
Any info or comments are welcome.

One of the fairly new additions to my Remington collection of original production patterns. This one is a hefty girl at 4 1/2" closed. Remington R7833. This knife is a large pen pattern and shows with a spear and pen blade. Beautiful and flawless bone handles, crest shield,and pinch bolsters. Overall really great shape for her age! She's still snappin' in her walk and talk. As well her blades and half stop are solid.
