Accidental Remington Collector

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.

Accidental Remington Collector

Post by Brumbydownunder »

I don't buy too many knives these days but over the last 5/6 months I have managed to pick up three very nice Remingtons in great condition.
It's sort of lit a fire and I am now on the look out. These are all Camillus made and exceptional quality - the two lockbacks have no movement at all, darn good for factory made. R1128 bottom left (1989) R-9 at the top with the nickel silver just pops! (no date?) and the R1303 bottom right (1984) The jigged delrin is so well done you have to pick it up to confirm it is not bone

Nice looking knives. ::tu:: ::tu::

That's what I'd call a happy accident. (The best kind).

I have almost every model of those Remingtons. Used to buy them cheap on the Bay, new in box. Super quality.

My wife is very tolerant of my hobbies, but she'd draw the line at such a knife display. Maybe I need a man cave! :D

Anyway, great display!

If you need another rabbit hole to go down that is directly related, start collecting all the Bullet badged knives from GEC. I may have some experience with this slippery slope
