my new remington

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.

my new remington

Post by Berryb »

Got some stuff Friday. In it was this knife. Lotsa off road miles. The main blade is completely gone. That's a box nail holding it together on one end. It was stored with an out-gassing celluloid knife, so it's a bit green. But all things considered not too bad. Might be a good project. But first; is it possible to find a main blade for it?. If I can locate a blade then the questions will start, like how do I remove pins without wrecking the handles, to begin with. Thanks

Someone got a lot of use out of that knife. Reminds me of my Dad, a product of the Depression, who almost never threw anything away if there was some way to fix it cheaply and keep going.
