Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?

[espn77]

Big day for me today. Picked up the final 1921-35 Remington knife to finish filling my display.

[gsmith7158]

Outstanding espn77. I bet you are the only person in Muleshoe with anything like that. I came through there yesterday and I thought about you . Is there anywhere locally there that you do any knife shopping?

[espn77]

NO!!!!!! Lol

[gsmith7158]

Ha!! I suspected as much. That's my preferred route from Atlanta to San Francisco so I come through there about 4 times a month.

[espn77]

I would love for you to hollar at me next time you go thew

[RalphAlsip]

espn, congratulations on completing the display with such a fine collection of old Remington knives !

[espn77]

Thanks. I'm all grins today. I'm enjoying just looking at them.

Yeah. Maybe we can get together one day. I usually spend the night at Clovis when I come through.

To answer your question about if any body around d here is into them. If somebody is into knives it's Randall's. I don't argue that they are good but to light for me. I calculate weight to quality when I hold a knife. Back in the 70's the government wanted military knives. Opened it up to the makers and it came down to Randall and my friend Francis. Well I guess we all know the rest of the story. They felt he wasn't big enough to meet there demands. To me his knives are way high end without the famous name. Here is my favorite one. A macartta handle with flawless seems.

Had a Remington itch that needed scratching, found this R1123 trapper. These are the auction house's pictures, can't wait to get 'er home.

[edge213]

Wow rider, that R1123 is gorgeous.

[1967redrider]

Thanks!

[stockman]

Nice 1123, Nice etch. Nice old knife.

Thanks, Harold.

Here's a few more shots of the R1123 and two newer R1123s and three newer R1128s. Those Bullet Trappers are HAWGS of a pocket knife.

[RalphAlsip]

Red, nice R1123!

Do we have many antique Remington collectors that are active on the forum? I am always interested in learning or sharing any info we might have about these wonderful old knives. I have been registered for a couple of years but sad to say have not ever joined in the conversation. Hope to remedy that now. John

There are many Remington collectors on here with great knowledge and info. I'm a collector but not one of them with the great knowledge. I've enjoyed them teaching me. Ask a question. They will get back to you shortly

Here is piece of my collection

espn, nice display

John, my primary interest is in Case knives and I have strong secondary interest in Remingtons. The 2 main threads on AAPK that I have found are:

1. the one we are in now http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kni ... 67&t=16665

2. Remington Photos http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kni ... n+pictures

I began posting my pictures in the Remington Photos thread and then switched to this thread because it seemed to be more active. You will likely see some of my pictures duplicated in both threads.

I am working towards getting a full set of the vintage Bullet knives and need a R1173 and a R4466 so please let me know if you might know where to find them. I have several old non-bullet examples and generally look for decent examples of natural handle knives (no pyremite) that still have an etch. As you probably are well aware this is challenging - especially when funds are a concern. It seems like Remington prices have taken an uptick recently. A seller on eBay has listed some very nice (and some questionable, I might add) Remington knives. Here are links to a couple that I was pretty interested in, but didn't want to pay for.

The one below is a stag stockman and is really nice.

I will try and post a few pictures this weekend. I have a nice collection of Antique Bullets but the only duplicate is a R1273. Hard one to find. I look forward to discussing Remington's with other antique Remington fans.

[1967redrider]

I recently picked up this R-322 in black comp on the cheap. No etch but it does have nearly full, swedged, long pull, half-stop blades. Excellent fit and finish by Remington, this knife is getting a lot of pocket time. 3 7/8" makes for a nice pocket friendly size.

[espn77]

You did good on that one. Very nice
