All About Pocket Knives

The Remington catalog states it's an adjustable box cutter. Not at home so I forget the pattern number. Some have listed it as a clam shucker of all things. Nice example Keith, I have a Morton's salt advertising example.

Box cutter is what I thought it was. I'd love to see the add if you get a chance.

Keith I'm working a 12 hour shift at the hospital and won't be home till 8pm ish tonight. Look towards the back section of the C-30 catalog and you will see a copy of the add there with a description of the pattern.

Thanks Rocky. But I haven't got a c-30 yet.

Here ya go Keith!

That's cool. Guess I need to get the C-30 catalog

Here's mine with the Morton's Salt slogan...

I like that. Whoever the guy in charge of advertising in the 30's for Remington was a busy feller

They were doing what they could to stay solvent in a bad economy called the Depression. I wrote about this in part in an article for Knife World July 2015.

I may have posted this before but it is a nice easy open knife and I am trying to learn how to post pictures. Don't recall pattern number.

Wow. That's a sweet knife with a great etch. Thanks for showing it off.

Nice one!

Your bulldog HTT is great and correct. Some had tang stamps and some did not. I have an example of both. Nice knife and worth around $550. Take care, John Davis

John, I think you are responding to a post I made a while back about my HTT Bulldog. If so, thank you! I sent you a Private Message a few months ago. You can check it by clicking on the private messages link near the top right corner of the screen.

I would enjoy seeing pictures of you Bulldogs if you don't mind posting them.

An original R1123 with Remington Master Knife etch and a custom with sheep horn scales made by me.

Obviously I like the original 1123. But tell me more about the knife you made. Beautiful handles. Did you make everything? Or did you use a Remington frame. Very nice. Thanks for showing us.

I used the original as a pattern to get the measurements for the custom. It has all nickel silver parts except the blades and backsprings that are made from 154CM stainless steel. I make all the parts with bandsaw, drill press, and belt sanders starting with sheet and bar stock. I do the heat treating myself.

Wow. Some day!!!!! You build many knives?

Not very many. Just a hobby. Maybe 6-8 a year with 10-12 if I feel energetic! Mostly fixed blade hunters with a few slip joint folders thrown in.

Well done!

Great job.

Thanks guys!!
I have some photos laying around of Remingtons that I don't recall posting. Cant recall the pattern numbers on some. Here is a nice one.

Another old photo.

Both of those are sure enough nice. It's hard not to get excited about those etched blades.

Two rare ones. R6519 gunmetal scales and R6334 "smoke" ? Pearl.
