Brass figural knife

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.

Brass figural knife

Post by Ripster »

Received this little knife with the Remington tang stamp . Looking for a little info before giving it to Brother ,the car guy in our family .
Wondering who made this . The little that I know of Remington is that they allowed other companies to use there blades with some stipulations.
Would those companies belike Quick point , ideal , etc. It’s a well built figural ,not like the knock offs.
Thanks

I doubt this was made by Remington (either the frame or the blade), but possibly is an “authorized item”. Remember, everything actually made by a Remington-owned factory has to be from pre-1940. Everything made after that (including blades) was made by someone else whether “authorized” or not. I think that is a more recent stamp. I wouldn’t call it a “reproduction” as I’m not sure there was ever a genuine original to be “reproduced”. ::shrug:: JMO Not sure if that helps or not! :lol:

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.
