Late Remington Damascus Bullet knifes

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.

And last but not least my original Bullet and HTT knives from the 20s and 30s. Not a complete collection by far but I am always on the lookout lol. I have other Remington knives but these are almost all of my Bullet knives. Some may look like duplicates in the display cases but they are Shot Show, Remington Worldwide Sales Meeting knives, and other commemorative knives commissioned by various places.

I plan to write up a complete list of what I have in a month or so when work allows for it.

If so what model was it? And for 97 there was the lumberjack and the anniversary lumberjack. Can you confirm if there was an engraved knife that year? I have not yet found reference to one.
I apologize I misstated when I said they made a silver bullet every year through 2000. They did not make on for 1996. The round shield I believe took the place of a silver bullet that year. In 1997 they had a silver bullet but it was a 1123 large trapper Damascus knife. They did have an engraved version of that as well. You can see it in my post of display box 5.

Thanks! I really enjoy collecting and looking at them. I know they aren’t the originals but they are still a neat piece of Remington history. I will always remember being on the hunt for bullet knives with a family friend years ago. He was always in search of originals and wish I could have shared my collection with him now.

In recent times I have also started collecting the posters and tin signs. I have about a 1/3 of them. I also have the puzzle, calendar, and a bronze as well as pewter belt buckles they issued.

Absolutely incredible collection. Definitely some that I was not aware exsisted. Thank you for sharing! In case 3 can you tell me what the bottom 4 knives are? Also do you have the delrin handled waterfowl knife from 1990? I belive I see the bone handled silver version. Maybe I just missed it.

The bottom 4 knives are as follows from top left to right.
Stag handle is 1991 Remington sales meeting knife
Second one is operation Desert Storm
Third one bottom left is Pearl Harbor
Fourth knife is turkey hunter knife. There should be one more knife in that series called deer hunter knife.

I do have the waterfowl editions in the 1990 knife in both bone and the Delrin handle. I just bought the delrin handle so don’t have that in display yet. I thank you for bringing it up as I had seen one for sale but didn’t pay attention to the handle material until now and was able to purchase it! I also have another 1990 coming in the mail that was an awards knife for the secret service regional shooting contest.

Purchased this oddball today. Dated to 2005 supposedly but I always question that because if they are marked first production run with new style tang stamp that should be 1988 I thought.

On my local Facebook Marketplace a bullet knife popped up that I am not familiar with. I ended up going and picking it up this morning. It's a 1992 R1253 Guide but its the 10th anniversary of the Remington Society of America 1981-1991. It's numbered 087 but I do not know how many were made. Guy selling claimed 500 made but I do not know how he came to that, I have not been able to find another one like this. He said he got it at a garage sale. Any insight on this one?

What a great collection.
Have you ever thought of building a list of all the known Bullet Knives from 1982-Present? Information is lacking past the typical Bullet/Silver Bullet and Anniversary Knives. AKA Engraved, Damascus, MOP etc.

I have been working to put together a more complete list since like you said there is not one that I've found that goes beyond the typical bullet/silver Bullet. I still have work to update to add some that were shared in this thread I did not know about but my list so far is still more complete than I've found online so far. I tried to attach it here but it's not letting me upload an excel file. maybe only image attachments are allowed?

While trying to research the 10th anniversary Remington Society of America knife I got today I found something interesting. There is also a 25th anniversary knife However it's a 2007 knife and says Remington society started in 1982. Odd they would make 2 anniversary knives but the founding year is different.

Yes it appears so! I find it amazing how they made so damn many variations some years while hardly any others. It’s
Strange how they made 5 variations in the 25th anniversary knife. You would have thought it would just be one knife since it was supposed to be special lol. They apparently made three Damascus versions of the Cheetah knife. One in red handle, one bone and one mother of pearl. So for 2007 there were 9 knives to collect including the standard bullet knife.

That is very strange on the Remington Society knives.

What is the 5th anniversary knife for 2007? I am aware of the green bone, Cocobolo wood, ivory bone Damascus, and the green bone remington society. Also aware of the 3 damascus cheetahs.

Also can you tell me what the model number is for the 1991 sales meeting stag knife?

I might have just found it. Looks like there was also an engraved cocobolo wood anniversary knife in 2007. Are those the same 5 you are aware of?

Lets see if this works... I put a copy on Google drive and it should be viewable via this link. As I mentioned before this is still a work in progress. For example I know for sure I have not yet included any of the "new tang stamp" knives. I was starting out by focusing on the annual knives with the date stamped on them. If anyone has any corrections please let me know and I will happily update!

#41 on the list is a Baby Bullet. My dad had now I am curator of. It has a poster with it with the same serial number. Is that from the same year. I have seen them with and without the poster. Does the LL Bean knife belong in this Group?
If anyone is interested in either of these knives please let me know they’re both for sale.
Thank you for sharing

The LL Bean knives were made by Bowen. I personally haven’t counted them as part of this collection as they were not officially a Remington knife. Bowen I think had some rights from Remington to produce some with the bullets but they aren’t part of what Remington offered.
Yes some of those baby bullet knives like yours came with a poster while others did not.
