I found this Remington the other day whilst scrounging around in some old stuff. All I can find is the tang stamp is Remington UMC.
Anyone have any idea when this knife may have been made. It’s got brass scales, blade about 1.75” or such.
What is this?
Re: What is this?
Japan, '70s or '80s I think. Could swear Parker was involved with these. I know there were several assorted figural knives with Remington stamps that didn't make sense; usually designs copied from European makers.
Re: What is this?
That makes sense for the age of it. I found this in some stuff from that era. Thought it sorta interesting looking.
Thanks for the information!

Very interesting. First I've seen like or similar to that. Thanks for showing it.

Re: What is this?
I’ve seen those before, occasionally one shows up on eBay. They’re not an original Remington nor to my knowledge are they an authorized reproduction. Sorta like the fake Remington leg knives except in that case Remington did make some originals.

Re: What is this?
Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think Parker was involved in the Japan, or any Remington fake knives?

Re: What is this?
Keith, you are correct. Jim did have many knives made in Japan but none were stamped Remington. John
