Remumc. I have a similar knife to yours. R55, even in used condition I really like yours. Mine has a pen in place of your punch, and your bone handles are great.

Another abused knife. Probably after the scout grew up and gave it to the grandkids! Has R3333 blade.

Scarce Scout Knife knife Remumc , theirs a nice example on eBay right now but to bad it has the wrong bail .

bestgear · Post by **bestgear** » Sun Sep 10, 2017 2:14 pm

Mike - What should the bail look like? I have one for sale here (https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... overs-532-) and I thought it was right as rain but if it isn't I'll pull it down. Thoughts?

BTW - Hope you are evacuated and safe. Looking forward to seeing you again in January.

Tom your example has the correct bail , the one on eBay has an imperial bail . I'll see if I can get a picture up .
Sporty is the seller so go figure

New addition to the Remington herd, a daddy barlow that will break a fingernail trying to open it....

I sure like your knife welderbob. I like the long pull.

WelderBob · Post by **WelderBob** » Mon Sep 11, 2017 2:27 am

Thank you espn77, did they have different pulls on these...books show this stamp 1924 to 33.
I think a forward pull would help on this knife.

espn77 · Post by **espn77** » Mon Sep 11, 2017 10:06 am

I assume your is an R1240? In my Stewart and Richie book it shows the knife with a long pull, like yours. In Sargents book it shows both pull types.

WelderBob · Post by **WelderBob** » Mon Sep 11, 2017 8:09 pm

Thank's, yes it is a R1240. Nice knives, didn't know they made a lockback fish scaler.

Yes sir, it's an R1630.

AREMINGTONSEDGE · Post by **AREMINGTONSEDGE** » Thu Sep 14, 2017 2:26 am

Dang it Keith...it's like holding candy in front of a hungry baby!
Yes of coarse it's the R1630!

Another Remington mystery. Most have the circle stamp on the blade and some have the straight line stamp. Circle on Remington made knives and supposedly straight line on contract knives made for Remington by other knife companies. Just when I think I have that figured out a friend gave me this barlow as a gift. Should be a RB43 but I can't see the pattern number.

espn77 · Post by **espn77** » Fri Sep 15, 2017 9:46 pm

The straight line stamp has had me scratching my head. Remington made 10s of thousands of knives like the R43, why have another company make that pattern for them? They are already set up to make them. I can understand the switchblade knife from Schrader. Here are two identical knives R2215. One with a Remington circle stamp one with the straight line stamp. Is it fact that Remington never used the straight line stamp?

AREMINGTONSEDGE · Post by **AREMINGTONSEDGE** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 3:54 am

Keith where have you read or heard this about the straight line Remington stamp?

espn77 · Post by **espn77** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 9:27 am

Here on aapk. It has been said many times.

Edit: maybe I have misunderstood what has been said. The knives with a straight line stamp are contract knives (made by another company other than Remington for Remington)

Keith, I am getting older and I recognize my memory is slipping from all the anesthesia I've had from these surgeries, none the less, Remington did authorized a few sub-contracting companies to produce some of their lower cost knives that had the straight script, and underlined-line script Remington logo. However, I believe they also produced some of these tang stamped knives from their production line. The use of contracting companies was to fulfill the production demands of the largest cutlery company in it's time as you well know but I am no longer sure of myself and would ask for a little help from our Ol' boys who still have their memories in one basket.

I've had the big dog grooming knife with the dog head shield for quite a while, with a Remington etch. I picked up this smaller one with "OLD TRUSTY DOG FOOD COMPANY, NEEDHAM HEIGHTS, MASS AND EMERYVILLE, CALIF" Both are R4733 big knife is 3 3/4 the little one is 3 3/8.
