Remington's RH Pattern Fixed Blade Knives

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.

I have a Remington RH 73 knife...I paired it with a KA-BAR
Boys knife in a Kissing Crane double sheath like the Case Twin Finn's
The Stag on both the knives is very close in that old mellow gold like
color on the older knives...they are one of my favorites !!!

Jim, can you give me a little info on the totem pole knife? Is it a RH-71? I've never seen that knife before. Very rare. Thanks for showing us

Cool pickup from a friend who has a nearby antique shop which was at a gift price 8) .. We're good friends and I've helped him on several occasions research out some old items for dating, info etc ... Anyway this knife picked up my spirits yesterday :D

Remington RH4 Outers knife (I would assume a perfect size for a boys first sheath knife :)... This is one sweet small knife imo ::nod:: - Despite the tarnish on the blade (and I wonder if it was unfortunately left in the sheath for many years ) when you hold it in the direct light you see the original polish and not much tarnish - (Just as an aside - If I used direct light the tarnish is hardly noticeable and the blade would appear clean in the photo BUT I use a light box where what you see is what you get with dispersed light.. I much prefer the light box for overall knife photos) ... Anyway beautiful bone in my eyes and the blade appears to be very full with very crisp stamps... The sheath is not marked Remington UMC and I imagine Remington marked all their sheaths - so I am assuming the sheath is not original to the knife fits though it fits perfectly. I know many companies copied the Outer knife and I am sure many sheaths were available ... I wonder if anybody could recognize the sheath make based on studs and the pattern on the handle strap?

Lee, I am not knowledgeable about Remingtons and my thought may be heretical to many. However, that blade and handle are in such good condition, other than the appearance of the blade, that if it were mine to either use or give as a gift I would put a forced patina on the blade.
I think it would look great.

Thanks QS ::handshake:: ... I indeed respect your opinion and as you know the views of many here on collecting etc differ to some extent. To me this is not a knife to use given the condition and despite the tarnish I will hold it in storage, display etc (fits very well with what I have and like to add)... but that is me. I wouldn’t force a patina on an old knife - I wouldn’t force a patina on my EDCs which though traditional in style are made by contemporary makers - I like patina earned from use. But given that I understand why you would do it on this Remington as the patina would blend with the tarnish - just not my thing.

I’m probably digressing here but I do little to my old knives other than very gentle cleaning of the handle, pivots or inside liners of dirt, oiling a pivot or of course getting rid of any active rust spots - occasionally I Ren Wax the blades pending my mood but always wipe with a chamois before putting them away... old knives trip my trigger as a part of history and I think of myself as more of a caretaker - maybe a curator in a sense ::shrug:: . Making old knives shiny is not my thing but I know many clean metal be it bolsters or blades but I can’t say that is right or wrong as all address this differently and the knife police won’t be knocking at your door :lol: - and than sometimes I wonder if there is a middle ground between doing a minimal amount vs more aggressive cleaning that would make me comfortable ::hmm:: ... just not sure of that to date...
