All About Pocket Knives

Roger that is a beautiful knife!
Dimitri nice pick up on the letter opener but I really like the R95 Jack, sweet!

Gorgeous display, espn77!!!

Thank you Rocky!

Glad to see you posting again

Been awhile since I've posted Remington caboodle, mainly due to my health and my phone camera being broken. These are a couple of modern display posters from 1972 and 1973 that Remington produced for store advertisement. In excellent shape for being 43 years or so old. These are under the Christmas tree so I used the pics from the auction site.

That's pretty neat Rocky. Wish I had stuff like that under my tree

Thanks Keith, can't hardly wait to open them! I have a few,(LOL) other things to share if I can get my camera working.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I received this poster ad about 4 months ago and didn't own 1 bullet knife. Threw the kindness of Tom, Mike, Jerry, Ray, and Wayne I'm now the proud owner of a couple bullet knives. All but one still have some etch on them. Thanks guys. Keith

Kudos to those special men Keith. A testament to the kindness and generosity of the folks here on AAPK. And blessings to you and your love and enthusiasm toward AAPK and to the Remington brand. Great looking knives and poster. Super nice sub -collection overall!

Knowing they go a good home of someone that truly appreciates them sure makes a difference. Impressive group there!

They will never be in the market place again. At least as long as I'm alive. I've had a hard time in the past pulling the trigger on getting them but now that I have them I understand what all the fus is about. They are sweet

Nice group of old Bullets.

Harold

Thanks Harald. I've noticed you have some really nice Remington's yourself

Congratulations Keith, really nice display!

Your going to have to add on a new wing to the house pretty soon!

In my mind that's what I want. I don't tell my wife that. She thinks I'm in my room to much already.

Keith she's not going to let you have that. It's way to close to Nirvana. Amazing pickups in the Remingtons. These guys on AAPk are amazing! One contact by happenstance and suddenly unbelievable opportunities arise. I'm still lusting on all that Case Stag you sent me.

I agree Greg. Great guys here. Others trying to help a guy put together there collection. Plenty of people have helped my with mine. Glad I could help you with yours.

Thought I'd share some original and beautiful Remington advertising.

That's pretty neat Rocky

Thanks Keith. Just one of several sub-collections in my main Remington collection. I love this old art/advertising, The graphics, style, colors and subject matter does something unique for me. It allows my mind and emotions to drift to a peaceful place in time. You know there was such a thing as "good ol' days".

I like the ads too. I just pick these up last week

Very cool Keith. Those ads have the best hunting topic matter with hunters, rifles, knives and wild animals. I very much like the black and white mono colors but I am really partial to the early 1900 Remington ads with full color graphics! Uuuuuuummmmm...

A little junior unofficial R4233 scout for this thread .

WOW. That's something else!!!!

SK that is always a great looking knife to see. Puuurrrrty Sweet! Why do you think Remington place pinched bolsters on that particular pattern? Aside from aesthetic any reason a young scout would care?

Sub-collection in my Remington Collection:

I have written about these knives in another thread and at the time I thought there were only 5 in the series but have discovered a few more since then.
"The original set of 7 bandit knives were made by Camillus of Ireland who were under contract by Remington for sole distribution/circulation in Europe, exclusively. However upon the request of several executives from Remington it is reported that approximately 20 to 30 sets were sent to the USA for those eager executives, Al Russo,( Head of Marketing at Remington at that time) was one of those executives. This particular series was the "predecessor" to the Bandit series produced by Camillus USA for Remington in the late 1980s. A picture of the original series as well as editorial from Al Russo can be found on a PDF download from the Remington Collectors Club Newsletter on this subject."

The " Bandit Series" was authorized by Remington and produced by Camillus in the U.S.A. circa. mid to late 1980's. The variance in the scale logo shows the production locality and time frame of production regarding each Bandit series as well as minor material and design changes. One will find common pattern selection of these knives but seldom to find them all, must less as a set.
