Remington scouts

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

Remington scouts

Post by knife-nut »

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-BOY-SCO ... 3a728bb1e4 Here is an interesting variation of the Remington scout. This knife has a pattern number R3333 in stead of RS3333. I've seen a few like this. I have one right now in parts condition. This one is pretty nice. ::hmm::

Too bad it's peppered because it doesn't look like it has been sharpened.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I was going to bid, but if you are, I won't. No point I running up the price. I have one RS3333 that has no numbers, just Remington tang stamps and an acorn scout shield. It dates to 1922/23. I really want a Remington girl scout, but the prices are awful!

I.m not bidding. Go for it. I would like to see it cleaned up. I have a few Remington scouts on ebay right now. Same handle on ebay as here.

Yes, I too would like to see it cleaned up and put with my other knives. Sadly it got up to more than I was willing to pay. ::shrug::
