All About Pocket Knives

Keith, an interesting fact is that Endicott Johnson had both black bone and real brown bone on their knives. Also, another company was Hanover Shoes. May have been all part of the same company, anyone know? John

John just a quick comment. The two companies in discussion were not affiliated with one another other than in companies manufacturing shoes and participating in the sales of shoes. They may have bought or rented machinery from United but were in competition with one another in the Market in the 1920’s and 1930’s perspectively. This time frame was selected due to the manufacturing of the Remington knives in question. Great detailed info on the web concerning each of the companies in question.
My guess is what company A was doing company B was competing and trying to “one up” for the consumer’s patronage in it’s promotional items.

Interesting, thank you for commenting. Some of these old companies are hard to investigate. Thanks Rocky.

Here’s an interesting read if your so inclined.

Thank you Rocky.

Is the Bowen knife marked Bower? Harold

R3003
To my taste buds this knife has it all. Swell center, pinched grooved slanted bolsters, punch, big swooping clip blade.

WOW! What a great knife!

Keith, the R3003 is a fantastic pattern and your knife is a super example.

Keith, your R3003 is fantastic and extremely rare. Wow! Congratulations on your find!! John

Great knife Keith. Keep them coming.

Beautiful Remingtos guys!Here’s one I picked up when I first got the bug again after years of no purchases.. probably 10 years ago on eBay..It’s not in the best shape but I still love it

Missed that one Keith, it is a great knife.

Picked up one of the metal handle single spey blade knives, blade looks unused, tang stamp poorly struck.

I know those aren't the highest dollar knives but I like them. Good looking knife John

How about some fixed blades?

Top to bottom- RH4, RH51, RH28, RH29 & RH43

Sheaths are original with snaps, except the black one is a replacement. Some have the "Remington UMC" stamped into the leather.

I like the RH43, not a commonly seen knife.

John—really nice fixed blades there!!

Thanks guys.

The RH43 is pretty pristine, I don't think anyone ever used it.

Great fixed knife posting. I love Remington fixed blade knives.

Anyone see a Remington like this before? I think it's an advertising knife, maybe a giveaway. No pattern number. Plastic black scale/frame with a little piece is springsteel inserted, hope you can see it. A little chip at the mark, but otherwise in decent shape. Long pull and half stops too.

I've seen them before. I'd say a limited amount were made. I think they are cool and seldom seen.

Thanks for the info.

1630 picked up around ? 15 years ago or more ?
