Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?

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.

Back in February I picked up a F1632, 1/2 dozen box from Wayne. I thought it was for kitchen cutlery but Rocky informed me it was for a putty knife. So off on the hunt for a Remington putty knife I go. Low and behold I found one. Not a F1632 but a F1911 1/8 B. I think it's the 1632 little brother. It's going to have to work for now.

I like that R4143. I have a very nice 4144 and used to have a 4145. They are one of my favorite patterns.

Thanks to Harald and the tissue paper he gifted me I have completed another display piece. Knife, box, wrapping paper, ad. The box is not for a later model scout knife but it will work for now. Thanks again Harald.

Mike, nice Pal find!

Keith, your Scout knife looks amazing!

Roger, I don't know how I missed the extraordinary group of Remingtons that you posted in early April. Wow!

Very nice Remington scout display Keith , BTW both knife and box look DuPont era to me so it should be a correct box for that knife ?

It has the 1924-1933 stamp. I could be wrong but I thought that was prior to the Dupont era?

Keith, DuPont owned the controlling majority of Remington stock in May of 1933. But even so, in relation to the depression DuPont in the 1930's used "stock" blades and materials to cut cost and one could find later circa. patterned knives with earlier years tang stamps.

Agree 100% , everything about the knife looks DuPont except for the tang stamp , transitional knife for sure .
Is the can opener stamped ?

No stamp on the can opener would make it a DuPont era knife , first clue all UMC era scouts have the line on the bolster .
You are correct Acorn shield 1923-24 one piece can opener ,1925-26 Acorn shield with 2 piece vertical lift tab can opener , 1927 cut out shield, 1928-34 round shield , 1935-39 DuPont era round shield .
Lots of variations from 1925-39

Hope I got it right lol
