Remington Purina

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.

Remington Purina

Post by Ridgegrass »

Hello Remington folks. I'm new to the site. Like to share a pic of a Purina Remmy I traded for some years ago. 3-3/8" closed.
"Remington" etch on main blade still visible. Nice punch. All blades tight. Celluloid straight and flat. Long pull suggests 30's??
Hope you enjoy it. It's a favorite of mine, far superior to the Kutmasters. J.O'.

I am a huge fan of all Remington advertising knives and especially the Purina knives. Three are dead mint and the large camp style knife is near mint. If anyone has any different models in Remington Purinas I would be very interested in seeing them. Thank you, John Davis

Unless I'm mistaken, I have a pearl handled Remington Purina stored away. Will need to see if I can locate it.

Mine has Purina engraved in the pearl but the paint is gone. It is a small senator style with a bail. They are more rare than all of the Purinas except the large 4 blade. Hope you find yours and post it. Lost Valley has the nicest one I have seen.
