Remington 943 two blade tooth pick.

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.

Jacknifeben, for some reason and I think it was that I saw way too many fish knives with junky handle materials that I sort of shy away from toothpick patterns. ::hmm::
All that said, that old R943 sure is a beauty and I'd be grinning from ear to ear if it was in my pile! ::tu::

Probably not mint, but definitely etched and unsharpened. The brown stains on the mark side tangs are dried oil. Rare to see a 2 blade toothpick. The R933 has a single saber ground clip blade and the R953 has a single flat ground clip blade.

Wow, you made my knife look like it was in a tackle box. Can I take a picture of yours for my file?

Please feel welcome to download and save the pictures I posted. If you want me to send you the knife so you can take pictures, we would need to discuss that some. :)

I attached pictures of the R933 and R953 in case you might find those interesting as well.

I don’t collect Remington knives but found mine in a box with some Cattaraugus. Thanks for the help.
