Re: Unknown Knife
Hawk, that’s a tough call as the knife could have some Remington parts. If truly a Remington the shield were more than likely be an Acorn, noting the leather punch. The leather punch does not appear to be a Remington blade. The knife body and handles could be Remington parts as could the master blade. Sorry there is no definitive answer but I believe the knife in the picture to be a Duke’s mixture......... Take care, John

Re: Unknown Knife
Thank You Sir for your thoughts, I agree several things are just not right. Most Remingtons have the punch blade in the other end also.
Still a cool old knife, nice bone and real sharpe blades.

Re: Unknown Knife
The bone jigging does not look like Remington, I like the slanted and pinched bolsters,usually found on a higher quality knife.

Re: Unknown Knife
Looks like a Utica. They are the only company I know that put a match strike pull on their punch blades.

Re: Unknown Knife
Not a Remington. Like Roger said. That punch isnt a Remington and the main blade isn't Remington either.
Re: Unknown Knife
Thanks Roger and Keith
Don't know what it is but I like it, I do not think the knife has been apart, just a cool well made knife, maybe main blade been reshaped,
like the slant and pinched bolster, and great bone.
Thanks again everyone for the feedback

Re: Unknown Knife
The punch and main have definitely been re-profiled. Still looking at this one . . .
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Unknown Knife
It could just be the pictures. Is the blade bigger than the kick on the main blade? Your the owner and if you like it that's all that matters, I have many knives I think are cool and nobody else does. Thanks for showing us
Re: Unknown Knife
keith- The blade is almost even with the kick, if anything the blade a tad bigger.
I did find an old picture of a Utica blade with the nail nick in that location, only one I have found
This blade may have been reshaped a very small amount at the point, over all the blade is full. I still have not been able to find a knife this size with the punch located in the same end with the main blade, always by it'self on the other end.
Would love to find a source of this quality of new bone handle material, the new stuff just does not have this look.

Re: Unknown Knife
I have a few Remington knives with that blade configuration. As you stated, it's not very common.
