Original As Found
Anyone else think this one might have been rehandled?

Not my knife, not bidding, just an observation. Your comments are appreciated.

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Original As Found
It looks like a rehandle job to me. (Not bad, but I don't like the way the rocker pin heads haven't been peened.) The blades are quite worn and have been obviously victimized by a grinder (ugh!) and the scales look unused. If find it ironic that the seller states: "The Remington Pocket Knife has been carried and used over the Years and has a nice pocket worn feel to it." Maybe it's me, but I don't see any "pocket wear" at all on those scales.

Frame and handle kinda resemble a RR?

Re: Original As Found
I don't know Remingtons, either...but agree...that the wear on the right two blades doesn't appear consistent with the bone wear. I'm not sure they appear consistent with the two left blades, either.herbva wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 4:16 pm It looks like a rehandle job to me.

Re: Original As Found
Probably the funniest thing is they took it apart and forgot where the blades were supposed to go.

I had that thought as well.edge213 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 4:24 pm1967redrider wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 3:20 pm
