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.
Kevin you are more than welcome. Please share your story about the history of this knife and your great uncle, I am sure folks would be interested in what you discover. Rocky

Beautiful knives and amazingly beautiful displays. It just doesn’t get any better than this...I’m lost for words... outstanding!! Considering the age and production era of these items it’s as if time has frozen and you reached out and plucked them from the shelves of the local dealer. Thanks for showing them Jim!

Hey guys, new here. A friend just told me about ya'll. About 30 years ago, my then Father in law gave me his Knife that he had when he was a kid. Been trying to find out more about it. First one I have ever seen until now. It has RH 74P Remington Dupont stamped on it.
I picked this up off the bay, I believe it is a RH-405 ,it was at a very low "buy it now " price, There are no markings on it,The Remington guide said the blade was etched, maybe some were just inked .Handle is 5" the blade 4 3/4". What do you experts think?

I received a dandy little Remington today.
It is 7 3/8" long with a 4 inch blade.
I can't believe how beautiful the bone covers are on this thing.
The sheath at some point was soaked in oil and weakened the strap and it parted.
Thanks for looking.
Looking at this posting I realized I had a little Remington RH pattern in one of my boxes stashed away. I found it and I think the tang stamp was Used c 1924-1933 (at least on folders) is that correct? This is a small knife but feels great in my hand and I love the scales

I believe these came out in the early 30s.
I think I have 3 of them. Great little knives.

I like the feel of it it has some weight to it for a little knife, fits my hand nicely.
