Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?

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.

I guess I'm just a broken record. I picked up this "American standard dollar Knife" box last weekend. I knew Ray "palidan" had the knife and he was kind enough to sell it to me and now the word is rotating properly again as they are together. My coolest box and knife set yet.
Thanks​ Ray

Sweet Joe, I haven't measured down to the 1/16" but I'm curious what the catalog says. All of the catalogs that I have (LF&C) measure to the 1/8".

Thank you, Tom and Rocky.

Tom, knives measuring to 1/8" is more common, but measurements to 1/16" can be found. When the measurement is at a crisp 1/16" on the rule, as this one is, I always mention it.

I have two other Remingtons. A jack at 3 5/8" and a Muskrat at 3 15/16".
