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.
You know how I feel about it all Keith...EXCEPTIONAL!
Here’s the problem...more room for your collection means more room to collect...the more you collect the bigger room you will need. LOL! Have you considered buying a house for your collection and having a room for yourself? HAHAHA!
Just havin’ some fun buddy can’t wait to see your finished product. Love the show and tell!

Keith, what a fantastic display! Not only does it contains amazing knives, but there is an awesome cross-section of everything Remington knife related. The boxes, sheaths, catalogs, books, rolls, pads, etc., are amazing and the and the large old case to hold it all is the cherry on top.
The big case had a tag underneath it when I got it that said assembled in 1919. In quite a few of the old cutlery catalogs they were for sale. One company must have made them for everyone. I'm going with it being an original Remington counter.
That is awesome Keith - super collection and lots of room to display all is great!! Thanks for sharing those photos... I also hope your move went smooth!

Hey Keith wish you were planning a trip to the Arkansas Ozarks, you could stop by and do your display magic on my collection..... lol. Your collection and ability to display is fantastic!! John
I second that statement! Mine has been a 51 year love of the pocket knife....... I certainly could have done it without the support of my wonderful family.
Looks awesome my friend. Like the old Remington ammo display also in addition to all the knives, catalogs, boxes, etc.

That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in other's and gave the best he had.
Keith, were you lucky to have the built-in niche already available or did you have to do some carpentry work? It looks perfectly sized for the cases you put into it.
