Surveyor 4 blade swell center. No number

Nickel silver two blade advertising knife I believe rare. Remington tang stamps and instead of number stamped b&b
St Paul. B Levine tells me an upscale nickel silver sold by Brown and Bigalow.

Good show for me.

All are super nice Jim but that surveyor's knife is super nice.

Beautiful examples Jim , thanks for sharing them .

Great collection Jim. Thank you, John

Fun stuff for sure. Thank you for looking. Lots of knives still out there to search for so we need to keep looking.

Might post some rem hunting knife pictures. That is what got me started.

Here are a couple of low end knives but super celluloid handles in my opinion.
R1575CH
R1595

I love those handles. Beautiful.

Does anyone have an R 965 that you would be willing to sell or trade off? Thank you, John

That’s going to be a tough one to find John .

Yeah, I have a bone and black but Pyremite is TOUGH!! Mike I know you focus on Scout Knives so if you will keep an eye out for me and an R965. Thank you, John

I’ll keep a look out for you John .

I’ve been collecting scout knives going on 25+ years now and have only seen 3 R965 examples .

I would be very interested to know if others know of examples In collections .

I'd have to look to be certain, but I think I've got one with the star shield .

Any desire to sell it? Thanks, John

Pictures please

Remington collector, any desire in selling the Scout Leader knife with the star shield? Thank you, John Davis

Hi John , I’ve never herd of the r965 referred to as a Scout Leader knife ?

A lot of the old Remington Collectors referred to the 900 series as Scout Leader because all but the ones with the star shield had the Scout Leader Hat shield. Not official just what they called them in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

Interesting , I don’t recall ever hearing any of the 900 series called that but then again I’m probably the only hard core scout knife collector in the Florida area / shows .

Thanks , Mike

By not being a hard core scout knife collector, me as well as a lot of my fellow collector friends past and living probably called it leader incorrectly. I’ve collected over 52 years and collected a little or a lot of about everything, not being an expert in any of them , LOL!! I do however really appreciate you keeping a look out for a pyremite 900 series no matter the shield. Take care, John

I can't get the pictures to show up. I think that if you click on link you can see the pictures. These knives are pretty rough, I had to dig back pretty deep to get to them. The R965 is not in this group, I'll keep digging.

I think I read somewhere that any respectable knife collection has to have a Remington Muskrat. Not that I have a respectable collection, but I have been looking for a decent one for a little while and found this one recently. Cleaned her up a bit and was happy to see the blades close to 100% and some pretty, dark stag bone. Anyone know if these had etched blades?

Hope you enjoy my pictures in which I tried to capture the complexity of this pattern, the way the bolsters are pieced and surround the spring and the thickness of the spring steel. Pretty interesting and durable design that you don't see on most knives.
