R-3 Big Game, the only Remington knife I own...

[CheckSix]

Back in the '80s, I'm thinking around '86 or '87 but I could be off by a year or two, I was given this R-3 as a gift at work. I already had a Western S-532 I was using in the field for dressing big game but I got this one and sat on it. Turns out, I never had to use it but being not the collector type back then, I never kept any of the packaging. What I like about this one is the bone saw and gut hook. I always had to carry separate tools for this in the field and this knife had it all. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I understood that these were made by Camillus for Remington. If true, that would explain the quality. Great knife! Always regretted not using it as intended.

Great looking knife. Ive wanted one but have had a hard time pulling the trigger to get one.

Yes, made by Camillus. The R-3 is now hard to find. With a saw blade, gut hook and knife blade and with both blades locking, it is very well designed for hunting or any outdoor activity.
I think i'll go for the next one i see on the auction site.

You won't have too long to wait Roland, as there are half dozen or so on ebay right now. Buy it Now price for the mint one is crazy but it appears some of the auctions may go for a more reasonable price.

Thanks Dennis. I will take a look. I already have one of these so i will be 'bottom fishing' with the hope of eventually snagging a second one.
