All About Pocket Knives

This month SafdE26 (Jack Nabors) has donated a 2013 Remington Bullet Model R1303 known as "The Forester”.

Originally introduced in 1922, the first bullet knife was a model R1123 Jumbo Trapper. Many people refer to this as “the” Bullet knife because the R1123 was the first and the most reproduced pattern, however, Remington made a series of pocketknives that has the Remington cartridge shield embedded in the handle. The Bullet knives were the highest quality knives built in the 20’s & 30’s. Bullet knives were always knives that were ideal for camp or game fur & trap knives. The original Bullet knives used quality handles like bone, Cocobolo or Stag Antler handles. In 1982, Remington introduced reproductions of these classic knives. These classic reproductions continue to be sought out by avid knife collectors as historical keepsakes.

This is a beautiful 2013 Remington Bullet Knife, Model R-1303 “The Forester” a Lockback knife that is 4 3/8 inches long when closed and 8 inches long when the blade is fully opened. The blade is made of 440 Stainless Steel, with a nail pull and traditional Remington etched the blade. The blade is tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-59. The liners are made of non-rusting brass, the bolsters are nickel silver. The handles are made of Amber Bone saw cut.

Thank you, Jack and good luck, to everyone that enters.
