All About Pocket Knives

You got a good one John.

Hello gents,
I have two here and a few questions. The cigar pattern I can't find a pattern number from my research but it has definately been cleaned and is in beautiful working order. And second the 1173 I know isn't an original nor does it seem to be from the 80s even though it seems to have the 1935ish stamp. It has bone handles and they are very worn but mismatched, and there seems to be a cavity under the bullet. Both blade have very strong delightful pulls and half stops. Even if it's a fake it's an awesome pocket knife. Any info would be appreciated.

Nice

Picked up a R6404, quite a nice knife, 3 3/8". the pearl looks perfect, all blades marked with a Remington UMC stamp so I think that makes this an early knife. Seems to be a rare pattern, the only illustration I can find shows it with a pen instead of punch.

Really nice John.

You must have an amazing collection.

Here’s the Ranch Hand Bullet Knife from 1999.

Tim,
That is a fine looking knife and superb photography.

Thanks!!

Just received this little number R575

Very cool, Theo. I bet with some pocket time it will shine right up.

No it is not getting into any pocket, might not be perfect, I just can’t seem to take a good photo. Same knife still looks bad and I have not done any “pocket shining “

I just picked this one up... looks like I'm a collector now... uh maybe...

Two tang stamps; looks like a 1921-24 and a 35'-40' any one know if there was an "overlap" of tang stamps? What the "Pros" here date this knife at?

Neat knife, stamps seem to be like you stated. I'll let the real pros tell what going on.

You know, for the tonnage of knives Remington cranked out pre-WWII, they had decent quality control.
