I need some advice please

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.

"USA <-Stamped Tang knife makers

Postby Hawke » Wed Oct 07, 2009 1:50 pm

Id like to compile a List of knife makers who used the "USA" (only that, USA) stamp on the tang.
Ill update this top post with the input to consolidate it.
Side note, I heard of a town in Japan or China once that they named USA (without periods) so they could stamp things with it. Unsure on the truth in this.

Thx in advance

"USA"
1. Knives made by Kingston for the U.S. Army
2. Colonial
3. Novelty Knife Co. U.S.A.
4. Camillus. Note the spiral punch, that's a sure sign
5. Camillus for Sears

"Made In USA"
1. Camillus. Note the spiral punch, that's a sure sign
2. Camillus for Sears"


Someone else suggested Robeson but you would have to check with Charlie on that.
