Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?

[RalphAlsip]

espn, I don't remember welcoming you to aapk so I will do it now - Welcome! Thank you for contributing to the Remington thread.

Your display case is fantastic!!! It looks like you are more than a 1/3 of the way there in filling it with some nice knives sitting in there. We would love to see some individual knife pictures if you feel compelled to show. I don't know how it goes for you, but it's slow going for me to add Remington's to my collection. If lucky, I find 4 or 5 per year that I like and willing to pay the price.

It looks like you might also be a Case collector

The majority of what I have is 70's case's. I'm beginning to really enjoy the remington knifes tho. I'll take some individual pictures and post them this evening. Here are some of my case knives.

Very nice Remington's and I really like that Gunstock

[espn77]

Thanks

[espn77]

Here are better pictures of that gunstock. I'm a rookie at the picture talking

[RalphAlsip]

espn, your R683 Gunstock knife is a really nice example! The tang stamps are nice and bright and the handles are especially pretty.

Let's see if this post wakes up ol' Rocky

Here is a R1128 Bullet knife. Many thanks to Harold stockman who was my second set of eyes and ears in locating this knife.

If you look really close and use some imagination you can see a very faint blade etch.

Thanks for looking.

[stockman]

Nice Jerry.

[espn77]

Can anybody tell me what the S stamp means on my knife? It's the only one I have that has it and I can't find any info on it.
Thanks Keith

[espn77]

Disregard the last question. I feel like an idiot for asking.

[MrBlister]

Keith . . . ive got a significant pile o REM
and ive never seen one like yours...
will await one them REM whales to answer it


HET yawlll

[espn77]

I figured it was an easy answer. Stainless steel? That's why I felt dumb. Maybe it is rare? Non of my others have that stamp is what prompted the question.

[Remumc]

Stainless it is. Kind of rare but they are out there. Most I have seen had the high model numbers like R9xxx like yours. I think your blade is swapped from a different knife. Handle code should be 5 not 3 and your small blade looks like high carbon steel and not stainless. Some stainless models had a Remington Stainless etch on the blade instead of "Trade Mark".

[espn77]

Thanks. Always fun to learn about the knives we have

Here is an example with etch from Ebay.
