In today's mail. Note the 2020 tang stamp.

Noted. Looks good and I like the no X's, just dots as in the seventies and eighties. What surprised me was the Nazi "S" they snuck in there. Good for Case, that takes some guts in this era of political correctness. Looks cool and so clean and neat. And the "S" is great.

Perhaps if you had relatives that were murdered by the Nazis you wouldn't think the S was so "great". Ignorant post dude!

The lightening S that Case uses has absolutely nothing to do with nazis.
It looks like we have another looking for a reason to be offended.

Now for my post:
I for one don't go out of my way to be offended by everything. If your only tool is a hammer, then everything is a nail. Time to move on and look for the positive instead of the negative.

Wow Tony, a great looking 23 and another on the way! Lucky man!

As Scott is known to say, WORD.

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Let’s move on please from the discussion about the lighting S that Case has used.
If we could all just learn that when people come on w/ things like this, it’s best to ignore it. That’s the one thing they can’t stand, being ignored.

Got this little Remington in the mail today. In looking it over I noticed there are 2 different tang stamps.
If I'm looking at the chart right, the one on the main blade indicates 1924 - 1933.
The one on the small blade indicates 1921 - 1924.
So what is the real age of the knife. I'm no expert, but I know I'm in the right place to find one.

I have been told that I am an expert. If you diagram the word "expert", you get:
"Ex", which means 'a has-been'
"Spurt", which is 'a drip under pressure'!

Now, I am NOT too knowledgeable on Remington knives, but I have heard that they had a tendency to use up the parts that were on-hand. So if they had a box of pen blades on a shelf that were a year or two old, they would use them on new knives.
If that is the case, then your knife is authentic and the tang stamp on the Main blade is from the actual date of manufacture, and the small blade was "New Old Stock" that they were using up.

Thank you Reverand, I thought that might be the answer.

The tang on the main blade is all that matters. Smaller knives like you have normally only have a circle stamp, no made in USA. Your knife is 24-33

I like the look of the stamp. I think it's cool. I also like the Nazi S and all kinds of symbols that look cool and hope we don't erase history or forget it or act like it's not there. My uncle fought Nazi's who tried to kill him and he stole a dagger off a dead one. One of the coolest knives you'll ever see. Love the design and look of it. What's wrong with appreciating historical relics and their symbols? Nothing. Nobody's offended here and you don't have to agree with the politics to appreciate the strength of the symbol. Never said offended, not offended if you don't agree fabulous, everybody can have their opinion and it's good to hear them. But I never called anyone names like ignorant or one looking for a reason to be offended because you couldn't offend me if you tried. I love discourse and encourage it. I don't try to shut it down and ignore the truth, openly discuss it and you might learn something.

Looks so much better than the Madre De Toilet Seat (usually with an ad related to the paper industry, specifically dryer felts) scales they came with from the factory!

Methinks, to use a British idiom, this is "a tempest in a teacup."

Amen brother. No need for ANYONE to get their undies in a wad over it.


Nor to suck their tightie whities up their crack over this Buck 722 I just got in the mail. I don't know why I buy these. They're all the same except for the color and this one has S30V steel for what ever that's worth.

I am gonna have to get one of those, eventually. That price, for an S30V steel blade, is excellent.

It's a good, well made, solid knife and the action is easy. I think the blade hole is as easy to use as the Spyderco hole. It feels good in my hand (YMMV).

I think the similarity is in the eye of the beer holder.

Hell, The Nazi party even stole the swastika! That had been around and used by various peoples for hundreds of years.

I looked it up, Ken. Actually it's been around for thousands of years with the earliest known symbol found being ten thousand years old. It's a symbol used in countries all over the world from hundreds or even thousands of years ago. It gets a bad rep from one little micro dot of history when used by Germany to signify the Nazi Party.

Was used extensively by native Americans but they ceased using it after WW II.

What arrived here from Mark (Sharpnshinyknives) was the most beautiful and well constructed Solingen made Hen&Rooster I've seen. I thought it might be extra well done as it was made to commemorate the company's 160th anniversary. Bright blue bone lightly jigged, set off by waterfall bolsters. Half stops for each blade; very tight runups. The shield is enameled providing an extra mark of excellence.

[Doc B]

Great color& great looking knife, QS!

[doglegg]

Knice to have quality and beauty.

[Steve Warden]

Sweet score, Garry!

[TPK]

Wow Garry! Congrats! That's Awesome!

Never seen bolsters or a shield like that before! Nice Score!

Good to know. Moving on.
