Catalog question

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.

Catalog question

Post by coffeecup »

Does anyone have a list of the pattern numbers of folding knives continued by Pal after they purchased the cutlery from Remington?

I've been looking at my notes and realized that I've never seen or heard of Pal-marked versions of a number of patterns. Right now, I'm looking specifically at the 1123, 1173, 1253, 1273, 1303, and 1306: all larger knives. I'm sort of wondering if market demand had declined to the point that these were no longer offered.

Or maybe they are out there, and I just need to get out and about more? :lol:

Thanks,
Jim

All I know about PAL is that I need a couple of their emblems for camp knives ::super_happy:: And I'm going to take a wild guess and say yes sir coffeecups you need to get out and about more... ::woot:: I think it is more fun than trying to find a fair price on an honest knife sitting around at the house 'With the exception of the AAPK member stores of course' and there is always that one thing that you keep forgetting to do while your out. ::hmm:: Hey CC awhile back I was questioning the experienced here on AAPK about removing rust on a blade without removing the etching and you had offered to send me some some wet n dry sandpaper in different grits if I didn't have any or was too short on cash to afford ::tu:: Thanks again for your generous offer... Very Kind... Well not to throw this topic off ::paranoid:: and quickly put. Found garage sale found box full of wet dry paper diff grits paid $5 put in garage girlfriend moved it to park truck storm came multiple tornadoes within miles of us along with hail and torrential rain 9 dogs 12 people in storm cellar storm passes remove dogs and articles from cellar glass of wine for nerves late dinner and sleepy time woke up late went to garage noticed she moved new sand paper went to pick it up ::teary_eyes:: box came out from around sand paper........................... soggy box ::teary_eyes:: soggy sand paper ::teary_eyes:: flooded section of garage ::teary_eyes:: must have been $500 worth tried to dry out but all curled up very few usable BUT at least we didn't get hit by any of the tornadoes ::nod:: Oh yeah, Do you still have extra sand paper to offer? ROFL ..... Just Kidding :mrgreen:

I have saw an authentic R1123, with a Pal blade etch. I assume Pal just used up what materials they bought from Remington. To my knowledge Pal didn't continue making any of the Bullet knives.

Thanks! I've been sorting through the hardness data I have on Remington and Pal tangs and blades, in light of some comments Dale and Dmitri made, and realized I had a "gap" in the data: no Bullet knives, and very few large folders, from Pal. If they were discontinued, it would explain a lot.
