All About Pocket Knives

Picked up these two Remingtons a couple weeks ago.

Two handsome looking Remingtons. Very fine acquisitions knifegnome.

Love the Remingtons!

Those are nice looking Remingtons.

Thanks Tongueriver, much appreciated. Bob has an important history of his own.

Jerry Halfrich Jack Russell in old growth Redwood burl and M4 tool steel, only one Jerry has done in M4. Paul Long sheath.

Is there a way to date Remingtons by the spacers? I've heard Marble's can be dated that way but I'm sceptical about it.

Great looking old Remingtons. I've not handled any Remington fixed blade. Is the purpose of the pommel shape to better balance the knife?

I have no idea, myself; maybe someone else knows. Remington certainly had their own distinctive style. Something else: Most of their sheaths were left-hand! I have not heard of any date coding by colored spacers.

Great knife and photography David.

Thank you fellas

That particular treatment of Westerns was particularly attractive. I have had three in three different patterns. All three gassed but did not appear to do so before noticing some rust. Advertencia!

I have three 239 pattern Western Bo. (one has the JC Higgins stamp) sitting next to my computer waiting for me to get around to rehandling them. The gassing is minor now on two and getting nasty on the third. I have already done a couple with that celluloid. I love the looks of that celluloid and have a number of them both fixed and folders, but they sure are prone to gas. All three are either in mint or excellent condition before for the off gassing. At least they are really easy to rehandle with bone, wood or stag and you don't have to take the pummel or guard off to attach new handle material. ____Dave

Some unusual and beautiful pieces!

Thank you tongueriver.

Nice run of KOOL knives Garry!!

My latest fixed blade. "Made by one of America's premiere bladesmiths, Rody Stan."
$14 on ebay most likely from Pakistan, but a cool bowie anyway.

Real nice Erwin.. Tell me more about the bottom knife.. And I got that album when I was about 12-13yrs and my mom made me cover it in a brown bag..

Thanks John
bottom one is a Sgian Dubh design Tony made to my wishes,
Copper fittings and a handle from 8 discs burned oak. Looks very scottish to me.

it certainly looks to be a very fine Sgian Dubh, Erwin. I am wondering about the blade length. Also the steel if you should know.

Thanks Q.S.
Blade is 85mm with 180mmOAL. Not sure about the steel but not stainless maybe 1095.
On the one with ivory micarta the steel is O1.
