Re: remington R8065 Pushbutton knife
Remington did not make the R8065, it was a contract knife made by Schrade if I'm not mistaken.
It was likely made in the 1930's. They aren't a common knife by any means, although one does show up on Ebay usually every few weeks. They are not legal to sell on Ebay and the listings are normally removed quickly. Book price for a truly mint condition R8065 is around $400, with any wear at all the price usually drops to half that amount. Remington also sold a R8063 handled in bone. They were a good quality knife, I've probably got 4 or 5 of them.
