I was going to purchase this set of Remington's off Ebay and thought I would get a few opinions from the experts! The buyer states that these are made in the USA. Can anybody tell by looking at them if they are the real deal, or a good deal in general!! Thank you all in advance!!

Says this (""Friends of the NRA"") 25 available
That does not mean National Riffle Association at all.
Stay away from this IMO.

Hi mikekoz,

What do you mean by the "Real Deal?"
Remington hasn't made any knives since the 1940s...so they aren't the real deal.
Most modern Remingtons were made by Camillus.
Some may have been made recently by United (Arrowhead), as well...so these could be a factory/distributor dump of merchandise after United's Chapter 11.
Or, still possibly made offshore, if the seller isn't being square.

Not likely to go up much in value...IMO. Could be ok users.

Bill

EDITED: For clarity.

If there actually made in the US, I'll buy a set or 2. Its hard for me to believe that 3 US made knives of any brand are selling for $40 ......If they are the Remingtons that are made by Camillus I will definitely buy a set. Thats a swinging deal.

PS,theres a new line of Remingtons made in Italy also.

I asked the seller to look on the blades and he again told me they were made in the USA! He stated that was on the kniives and the box! I have purchased a set from him and will post photos of the knives when they arrive. I will be the groups guinea pig on these!!...

. I should have them in a few days.

OK! Just got them UPS today!! They look good to me, but I am a rookie!..

. These appear to be current model USA made Remingtons. Please look at the photos. I sure hope this set is not a fake!!...;(. That is why I am posting this so all of you experts can analyze them!! Thank you in advance!!!

They look great to me.

I found the 2 blade for $50,the single blade for $29.I couldn't find the 3 Blade stockman anywhere,but my guess would be somewhere around $40 ....You got approx.$120 worth of knives for $50....you did good!!

I saved his ebay ID,I think I will see if he will cut me a deal on a couple of these sets. Thanks Bro

Great find...

Looks like a distributor dump of otherwise nice product. Maybe the newer knives from Arrowhead/United?
