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.

Blade combination and the pure variety of knives that Remington made is very interesting to me. The electrician knife in particular. Here are the ones I have.

It's time to update the Remington Original Bullet knife group photo that Keith espn77 and I have been collaborating to create. Some of you might recall that our combined collection was missing a R1173 Baby Bullet. Well, thanks to our good friend Roger peanut740, the hole has been filled ::ds:: .

The R1173 is added to the group picture below plus the knives are all in pattern number sequence and the knives are all laying straight now. There is also an individual picture of the R1173, which is a good example with an etch.

Keith, nice set of trappers in fabulous condition and it is helpful to see them side-by-side. I think I like the looks of the smaller (Turkish?) clip and skinning blade over the larger clip blade and pen blade combination.

These pictures are of a Remington R4783 Official Scout knife with a removable bail. The pattern number is inked on which indicates a mid to late 1930's knife. There is a picture of its tattered box.
