All About Pocket Knives

I've acquired a few of these and I find them interesting. I'd like to find the ads for them to display with the knives but haven't had any luck finding any of them. I know some guys here have some. Would love for you to share your ads and your knives.

Impressive group Keith!

Keith, a very impressive group indeed. What did the H T T stand for?

Doglegg,
I believe that is 'Hunter, Trader, Trapper'.

Not Remington,Challenge,but H-T-T none the less.This is the Big Chief.Also the original ad.

April 1932 Outdoor Life.you could get a Remington Muskrat free for buying a subscription to National Sportsman.

Some cool stuff being posted. Thanks.

Nice advertising pages and knives being shown, Keith, I believe I have doubled the number of H-T-T R293 trapper examples and HTT Bulldog examples I have seen after reading this thread.

My camera angles don't quite match up to the HTT magazine pictures so the blades might look like are sized and shaped differently. I superimposed examples of the real knives along with the advertising pages and advertising pictures. The advertising pictures do not show the 3 lines on the top bolster of the Bullet knife R293B. In my experience it is unusual for the large banana trapper bullet patterns (R293B, R1253, R1263, R1273) for the top bolster to be unlined. The R293B Keith showed earlier is unlined.

Thanks Ray.

I have the HTT issue with the Bulldog ad, and a Bulldog knife. I do have this HTT ad as well, but not the knife.

Cool add. I've not seen that one.

I agree, great ad. Anyone own one of the HTT Remington jacks? John

I have never seen that add! Thanks for posting. The No. 373 in the add is like the model R373 in the books. I did the add knife have an HTT logo?

Really cool, thanks for sharing! There must have been a ton of new Muskrats floating around at that time.

I picked this up. Has a very faint etch.

This is a really educational postings for the Hunter Trader Trapper knives. Thanks for the great postings. I think I have the bullet and one bulldog.

Hey espn, that is the knife in the add isn't it. Cool!!!!!

I never knew this knife was a giveaway knife till this thread.

Anyone know the date that the R373 jack was shown and offered as a premium in HTT? Thank you, John

Nice score on the harness jack!

Nov 1926

I don't think the R4466 was a premium knife. I thought the add would be welcome.

Great add Harold

You bet Harold. Really liked the add. Just wondering if they’re were only 4 HTT premium knives?? Thank you again Harold for the add copy. Always great to learn a little more about the knives we love. John
