Remington RH 40

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.

Remington RH 40

Post by stagman »

I was wondering if anyone here could post a
pic of a Remington RH 40 with 10" blade
I had a customer buy a Marble's knife from me
and he is looking for one of these
Really great guy and I would love to help him
find one. Thanks in advance for your efforts
Kinda hard to look for one if you never saw one before

RH40's are extremely rare, and I would have to disagree with OZ, the knife that sold on ebay was not that bad a knife, very full and certainly showed some age i.e. the rust and the handle ding, but no major abuse. The top edge is actually file work, the RH 38 and the RH 40 came from the factory with worked top edges, the smaller RH patterns did not. As best as I can recall the 38 and 40's were only made a couple of years 1929-30, which helps explain their rarity. Here are some pictures of my RH38 for reference, same as the RH40 minus two inches.

That's the main reason I called the knife on condition, I didn't think it was file work (would have never guessed). That is one heck of a knife, and a new one to me!
