Question about 2013 BSA knife

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.

Question about 2013 BSA knife

Post by Vit_213 »

I saw this knife in 2013 catalog, but have never seen it on sale.
Was this knife is made? If not, why not? If so, how much?
I am interested in any information.

Philco would know - send him a PM. I only saw the first three (2009, 2010, & 2011), not sure when they dropped the series. OH

I have not seen the knife shown in the post above nor have I seen any for sale online. The others were made by Bear and Sons Cutlery. I bought the first two they released but stopped after that because they bore only margingal similarity to the originals and were a lower quality knife as far as fit, finish, and overall craftsmanship. I've seen some of the more recent ones online but just didn't want to sink any more of my knife funds into them.

I can't say for certain that the 2013 model shown above was or was not produced, but if it was it hasn't made its way to ebay thus far, at least to the best of my knowledge.

I spoke to Bear & Son's about the 2013 pearl handled knife about a year ago. This was to be the 5th of 5 replica knives that they produced for Remington but they never received a purchase order to make the knives so the project was scrapped. While I agree that the fit & finish of these replica knives was nothing like the originals that's pretty much what we all expected.
