Remington scout knife bail replacement

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 scout knife bail replacement

Post by RandyFew »

Remington scout knife collector brothers, I need some guidance. I am wanting to replace a broken punch blade in an RS3333 scout knife, but it looks to me like there is a hollow pin on the bail end. What is the best way to rebuild that end of the knife so as to accommodate the original bail? I would rather leave the broken punch blade than take a chance on butchering up this fine piece. ::dang::

I've saw some welded blades that looked authentic. I'm not sure if you're against that type repair or not.

So I messed up. I apologized to the seller and bought the knife. It now lives at my house where it will stay until I am gone.
