R6533

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.

R6533

Post by missdg »

okay, i always thought Remington was not a good brand until i started looking up my knives and found different. However, I have a R6533 that is very worn looking and has never been sharpened. I cannot find it anywhere but the stamp has remington in a circle on the baby blade, the blade that is like a file is next smallest, and the larger 3rd blade has the stamp with underlined remington as well as circle plus R6533. i saw one that said bone but this one looks like wood. yes i took my teeth and scratched and i think it wood or it just cleaned residue off it...lol anywhoooo....can anybody tell me what its worth? thanks

The stamps appear to be normal Remington stampings. The handle material is bone as is indicated by the final "3" in the pattern number R6533. The knife is called an equal end whittler, which is a nice pattern. The blades HAVE been sharpened extensively, so much so that they no longer retain their original shape, probably down 15-20%.

I personally wouldn't test handle materials using my teeth (or anything else, other than my eyes), on the off chance that I might damage either the handle material or my teeth.

Stewart and Ritchies guide to Remington Knives places that knife at $250 I assume thats mint. Using Blades Guide scale would probably put that knife on the low-end at $90. Of course value on any knife is subject to many factors.Slim

::welcome:: It is jigged bone as stated above.

It looks like someone replaced the pins on the ends, they seem kind of large to be original. It is still a good carry knife and a good thing you did not throw it away ::tu::

The quality of the pre 40 Remingtons will rival almost any brand of that time period. Yours has a fingernail file blade, cool little knife. ::tu::

I used to play that festival every year when I was with a band called "Crossroads". This is a pic taken at the Osborne Bros. Homecoming Festival in Hyden:

Yeppers, I've known Vernon for probably 20+years, and Johnny "Cornbread" Browning. The "Pugo" name doesn't ring a bell with me though.

Isn't Vernon related to Paul Burns' wife?

I think that Paul Burns was married to Vernon's sister, and I think Vernon is brother to Manuel Couch, known him a long time too.
