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.

The bandit knife is new info for me. Thanks Rocky. I just got my first C-5 catalog and a RH28 to go in a display. Pretty excited about that.

Keith sounds good to me... the Remington RH hunting knives are another collection in a collection. This is one of many reasons I specifically collect Remington. I have a large collection of other major cutlery produced knives but I love the original Remington brand the most. So many diverse and beautiful knives to get caught up in. ::super_happy::

Awesome score Keith! Nice looking RH28 blade looks almost full and the handle looks in great shape from what I can see. Nice C-5 you'll get a lot of use out it I'm sure. ::tu::

Thanks Mike, love the scales on that Moose pattern. Great looking knives. ::tu:: ::nod::

Do you know the exact years that SMKW was authorized to produce knives for Remington? ::hmm:: ::tu::

I have had a shelf full of old ammunition, old BB's and different boxes, I have been slowly selling them off. Trying to cut back. Here is a old Remington piece I had forgotten about.

Rocky, I agree with you! That is a great display case and filled with some great items!
Harold, you should have used that "ol' rag" to wrap those prizes that are on the way to Starvation Plantation :) .
I've got several Remington knives but sadly they are not old enough to be real Remingtons, Camillus I suspect :( .

Rocky, I'm pretty sure that those remingtons were made by Bear and sons. Smkw is a store that sells many brands of knives. I just bought them there.

Phil it would be great for you to show and tell your Remington knives, please and thank you! ::nod::

Mike as far as SMKW that is what I thought, not really up to date on the full line of modern Remingtons. After Camillus closed I lost interest in the modern Remingtons in part due to the lack of quality and craftsmanship IMHO. ::dang::

Mike,(SK) I knew you'd come back with a dilly or two. Very nice and scarce to come by. ::nod:: 8) ::tu:: What else ya got for Show and tell? ::hmm:: :lol:

Keith, as an internet friend, thought that ya might want to know of the drool dripping down your chin so ya can wipe it off ::drool:: ...ooooohhhhh and if ya need help with hoistin' your jaw off the floor and puttin' you eyes back in their sockets I can help with that too. ::poke:: :lol: ::tu::

Thanks for the help Rocky. I'm so stinkin consumed with anything Remington. Every time a post is made of something I don't have "which is often around here" I think I need to find one of those. Lol. It's quite the cycle.

All in fun Keith. Believe me when I tell ya I have and am consumed with Remington. Like you and others I want one, maybe two of everything. Original Remington products were of such great quality and demonstrated top of the line craftsmanship, how could anyone not get swept up in collecting? ::tu::


Mike does have a really nice piece! ::tu::

Here's a few more advertising pieces from Remington. Love the theme of these "Remington Bears". The artwork of Lynn Bogue Hunt is vibrant and beautiful. ::tu::

Those are really sharp looking ads. I picked these out of the mail box this morning. I think the jobbers book is really cool. It's been written in and prices scratched out and lower prices written in. And notes. I'm glad it's used. And a cartridge box I don't have.

It took me two weeks of negotiating, haggling to finally get this. It was delivered last night and was on my desk when I got to work today. I think it's the coolest things I have in my collection.
