Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Well it's been awhile since I've posted a few pictures... Here's a couple knives that are in my collection that I have not shared before. I have a few I need to take pics of and share...trouble is, it kicks my knife addiction into gear and leads to strong urges to purchase expensive knives!
1. First is a rare Remington R645-F2 Bowtie Switchblade with guard and pyremite handles. Has strong etching and works like it's factory fresh.
2. Second is the Remington R305 with pyremite scales.

Here's a sweet Orange Blossom that had previous billing on this forum. 3 1/16"

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Very nice Joe. What is the etch on the handle?
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
S.a. north. That's pretty cool. I don't have one of those.
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
I believe this is my only Orange Blossom. Nice strong knife.
Thanks, espn.

Rocky, all of it is fantastic. The A100 is really nice but your thermometer......that's awesome. Is it porcelain or tin?

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Thank you Keith... The sign is steel coated in porcelain I think by examination. It is heavy when you pick it up !

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
That a great piece. I envy you. I got a couple knives in the mail this morning that kind of go along with your pen knives. I'll try to post pictures

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Hey Joe! just wanted to say that you have a beautiful knife. Have you ever looked up the name of the person on your knife in that era? Sometimes you will find that theses were made and given to some prominent folks back in the day. Awesome knife. I think I posted one that I have some where that belonged to a governor in one of our eastern states. Anyway love your look see!

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
The black knife is interesting to me. Hidden backspring and a black plastic of some sort.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Nice Keith. The black handled knife is Interesting...looks more early modern era than 1920-1940. Not seen this one to my recollection. I do like it.
Rocky, AKA- AREMINGTONSEDGE
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
That was my impression also. The only thing that possibly makes me think 20-40 is the etch in the blade. I'm just not sure what to make of it.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Do you think the handle material is made from the hard rubber composition that Remington used on their RH knives? In your picture it doesn't appear to have a liner. Does it? The covered backspring looks very much the same as on the Dollar Knife. Not too sure on this Keith I've not seen this as far as my memory serves and my memory sometimes goes on strike and won't serve me at all!
I do agree that it is a Production Remington but not sure of the era.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Here are a couple more. Now that you say that about the RH black handles, this looks to be the same
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Thank you very much, Rocky. I have not looked up the name. Might be interesting.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Keith... I'm beginning to believe you are correct in your assessment. Looking at the tang stamp and how it was struck and at other aspects of the knife I think you have it right with the era in the 1930's. Great little knife!
Rocky, AKA- AREMINGTONSEDGE
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Thanks Rocky. Sure would would like to find some literature about it.
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Nice knives here. Keith I really like that checkered plastic knife. Can't be too many of them floating around out there.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
