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.

Keith, nice set of trappers in fabulous condition and it is helpful to see them side-by-side. I think I like the looks of the smaller (Turkish?) clip and skinning blade over the larger clip blade and pen blade combination.

These pictures are of a Remington R4783 Official Scout knife with a removable bail. The pattern number is inked on which indicates a mid to late 1930's knife. There is a picture of its tattered box.

Looks like the bail is on the wrong bolster. I probably wouldn’t have noticed if you didn’t make me pay attention. :)

On page 22 of this thread was my first post in the Remington forum. I am playing with my knives tonight and this was the first Remington knife I bought. I don't take great pictures but they are a whole lot better than they used to be.
The knife that started it all!!!!!

Well men still peeking in on you boys...looks like your holding down the Remington fort pretty well!
Keith I am leaving this really for you. I am so proud of you and your collection! I have quietly watched your collection evolve into one of the most desirable collections that may be out there. I love your passion and the way you are honing your knowledge and expertise in Remington cutlery. Some times I want to help you a little when someone asks a question that you may not have a ready answer but I know you’ll get there. Life changes us all over time and a few too many surgeries left me a few memory gaps to the point that I’ve forgotten a lot and the things I think I remember are not truly what I think I remember.
So in saying that I just want you and the boys to know I still read the Remington thread when I get an email and enjoy the look see...but happy to be a quiet bystander. Always smiling ::super_happy:: Rocky

Thanks John. I agree that the jack is a hard one to find. I've not seen that pattern on a Remington before. I got it from Miller bros, Dimitri.

For the most part Remington bone handles have a very distinct look. But every so often I come across one that is totally different.
