All About Pocket Knives

Hello Remington experts,

Take a look at this Remington that my dad found. The stamp suggest the second half of the 1930s and it’s a great knife. The thing is, I don’t see other examples of this pattern and it doesn’t have a pattern number stamped on the blade.

What do you all think is going on here?

Likely had an inked on pattern # that worn off.

Oh, I didn’t realize Remington inked pattern #s. I thought all Remington’s had it stamped.

Does anyone have an idea what pattern number this knife would be?

I can’t seem to find an example of this pattern in the reference guide on this site. It most closely resembles the R6390 but obviously only has 2 blade.

Looks like a R7425. More than likely inked with numbers worn off. John

Yes. That looks like it! Thank you so much. Did you use a reference to ID it or are you just that good? If it’s a book, would you mind sharing which?

I actually have one like it but it is also in the Jim Sargent book, Knives and Razors, 6th Edition page 481. Glad it helps. John

Also in , Remington Knives Past and Present, Stewart and Ritchie, page 215.

Thanks John. I’m looking to get some good knife books so that’s helpful to know. I’ll add those to my wish list.

Mark at Knife World can help with putting together a library. Let me know if I can ever help. It is always a pleasure assisting another knife lover. I have a decent library and always glad to assist looking up information. John

John is correct with the pattern number. Here is an example with an ink blade etch and ink patter number

I also have the knife like yours without the shield with no blade etch or pattern number.

Thanks again John. So far my wish list includes:
Levine’s guide to knives 3rd or 4th edition
Goins
Seargant’s knives and razors

Any other suggestions would be welcomed.
