That's my favorite too

That 4 blade Remington surveyors knife is a rare find , very nice knives .

That's what I thought. I've never seen that style of bolsters. Thought maybe you guys could give me a little info on it

I had the privilege to handle an absolutely mint Remington surveyor knife at the OKCA show in April in Eugene Oregon. I am lucky to have a friend that has one of the best Remington collections on earth and he lets me handle a few of the rare ones.

4 bld Cattle, Cattle Whittler. HOK.

That's a pretty cool find

espn, your 2 Remingtons are very nice! Is the teardrop a pattern R173 ? It is in really nice condition. I was unfamiliar with the Surveyor's knife until you showed it. I like the more elegant look of your knife as compared to the other scout / utility patterns.

Harold, is your knife a R3313? It is very nice. I like the "strong" clip blade with nice swedge.

Yes it is a R173

I didn't take very good pictures but handles have a unique curve to them. I think it's a neat knife. Glad u liked it also

Jerry the 4 blade is a 3313 and the whittler is a 3243, both made on the same frame.

Big day for me today. Picked up the final 1921-35 Remington knife to finish filling my display.

Outstanding espn77. I bet you are the only person in Muleshoe with anything like that. I came through there yesterday and I thought about you . Is there anywhere locally there that you do any knife shopping?

NO!!!!!! Lol

Ha!! I suspected as much. That's my preferred route from Atlanta to San Francisco so I come through there about 4 times a month.

I would love for you to hollar at me next time you go thew

espn, congratulations on completing the display with such a fine collection of old Remington knives !

Thanks. I'm all grins today. I'm enjoying just looking at them.

Yeah. Maybe we can get together one day. I usually spend the night at Clovis when I come through.

To answer your question about if any body around d here is into them. If somebody is into knives it's Randall's. I don't argue that they are good but to light for me. I calculate weight to quality when I hold a knife. Back in the 70's the government wanted military knives. Opened it up to the makers and it came down to Randall and my friend Francis. Well I guess we all know the rest of the story. They felt he wasn't big enough to meet there demands. To me his knives are way high end without the famous name. Here is my favorite one. A macartta handle with flawless seems.

Had a Remington itch that needed scratching, found this R1123 trapper. These are the auction house's pictures, can't wait to get 'er home.

Wow rider, that R1123 is gorgeous.

Thanks!

Nice 1123, Nice etch. Nice old knife.

Harold

Thanks, Harold.

Here's a few more shots of the R1123 and two newer R1123s and three newer R1128s. Those Bullet Trappers are HAWGS of a pocket knife.

Red, nice R1123!
