1991 Remington Mini Trapper R1178

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.

1991 Remington Mini Trapper R1178

Post by Gundy »

Hello all, I am pretty new to this forum, so thought I would say a quick hello and post up one of my Remington repros I recently aquired. I have a soft spot for these knives as I use to oogle over them in the outdoor stores when I was a kid. I have decided to collect the repros along with their posters and the like.

Here is a quick photo I took the other day. Great forum by the way! A wealth of information.

Welcome Gundy, glad to have you on board ::nod::
Nice knife, and nice photograph to highlight it. The flies and tackle box make a interesting background to highlight the colors in the handle.
