Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Keith I‘ve written on this topic in the forum. This goes back to knives authorized in production by Remington. Quickpoint made many knives for Remington. I believe this is one of those advertising knifes authorized by Remington celebrating a “small” Solingen cutlery factory that was authorized by Remington to produce select knives in Germany. Hence we find the rare knives made that have the unique German Remington stamped logo or the German advertising made knife that stamped “Authorized in Germany”. Research does lean in this direction as being correct. You, in my opinion have a special knife substantiating this information. Great little knife!

Quickpoint was a company that would personalize stuff for your business back in the day. It's odd to me that a German company would contract an American company for knives, unless they were buying other advertising stuff from quickpoint. I found a herders knife exactly the same online.

Rocky, I think this is a late 30's knife. Do you agree or do you think it's a 60'-70's knife?

Keith, Chris, thank you, Chris totally agree, pen in front of main. Keith, yea the spey blade Barlows are tough to find, I've managed to put a small collection of vintage ones together and was very pleased to add the Remington.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
I do think that this is a knife from that era from the pictures posted and the description provided. Great find and I believe important to research on the authorized German factory that produced knives for Remington as well. It could be an important key that can be used to unlock questions related to other German made Remington logo knives in that era.espn77 wrote:Rocky, I think this is a late 30's knife.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Keith. What is the black handle made of. Does not appear to be pyrimite but the last number is 5.
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Jim, I think there is more crossover in the handles than we would like to admit. The same handles on your knife can be found in the 2 handles. But then in the 2 you can also have ebony. Then in the 3 we have real bone and imitation bone. I do t think its rubber, a hard black material, slick black whatever that means. The first picture is a R1062. Same handles as yours, definitely not pyremite. The second knife is a R1752, ebony. I don't have much of an answer for you but Remington wasn't as perfect at placing correct handles on the knives as us collectors would like.
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
This R3445 bothers me the most. I look at it often and am 95% certain its horn which should make it a 0

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Careful...I am a purest! When you make a statement such as that you are leaving the back door wide open for the re-constructionist of original production made knives...forgers if you will, through the market door. Remington was extremely precise in their craftsmanship related to many things one of which was their guarantee of Name and quality. The craftsman and workers of that era were also exceptional not only because of the hardship of the depression but also the pride they took in their work, individual pride and respect in self and others.
No not likely will you find lackadaisical or careless work. However, I do believe as one moves to the very latter end of the Remington cutlery division era and most likely when Pal took control you can find some of those unsolved queries and non authorized knives made related to the available material at hand.
Also important to note, we have no true “complete” Remington cutlery bible or catalog to judge the standard. What we have is based on the research of others and their compilation of said researched material. We can set opinion based on knives that were originally catalog but even Remington stated they did not put every production knife made in all their catalogs.
It is up to those that collect and have studied Remington cutlery to say potentially fact or fiction with unusual knives. But I stand firm in believing Remington’s commitment to quality, craftsmanship and reputation as the Name to count on in the cutlery world of that era.
Post note:
With the technology of today it is possible that craftsman of this era can reconstruct a knife out of original production knife parts and pass them off as mint to near mint Remington knives getting a few errors in materials based on what’s available... just saying it’s possible. Caveat emtor!
