My Remingtons.

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.

John,

Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful collection with all of us. You have made this remarkable web site that much more remarkable. Hope you have some time to post more individual pictures of the knives you hold most dear.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

John, I missed the opportunity to ask Jim ( if I did I don’t remember) if he had ever seen a cocobolo Remington farmers jack. I’ve asked around and have never gotten a definitive.

I have the only French ivory I’ve seen pictures of. It’s the one Jim had in his books.

You can see it here:

I noticed the different shields in the picture. Bruce Voyles sold a used one that had a federal? shield too. Most are bar shields.

I have some Remingtons that are a topic of discussion here:

Check out the link above your post. Sargent and C Houston Price have the R3855 listed as imitation ivory. I don't know if it is their version ,Pyremite, I would assume so. Mine ,in the link ,is the actual one shown in Jim's books.

They both list bone as an R3853,imitation ivory(French ivory) as an R3855, and cocobolo as an R3858.

You've been lurking around her about as long as I have. Glad you started posting.

I really like any old knife in French ivory. I noticed your farmer jack in French ivory a long time ago. Great knife. Back in the 90’s when NKCA was in full force with shows all the time, I had a nice Office Knife Collection. 150 all different. Wish I had kept that group but you can’t afford to own them all.....

I am assuming this question was aimed at the other Ray, K7K, since I have no clue. :)

John,
NO! Not your mistake, John. It was just a brain poot in an old guy. It never dawned on me what you were referring to, DUH! :oops:
But no, I sent that one on ahead to Keith. :) You know what, that is still the only one I ever saw. Got it from Joe Seale many years ago. Showed it to Jim Pitblado once and he drooled and commented that if it was nearer mint he would be on it like a duck on a June Bug. I got a similar reaction from Jim Sargent.

It’s funny the guys you mentioned have all been big helps in building my collection. We have lost 2 in one year..... I have owned and looked at a lot of Remingtons over the years and that is the only punch lock stock I have ever seen. It is a gem.

A few more individual shots. R1123 is probably the most common Bullet but they are still what I first think of when Bullets are discussed. Thanks, John

The fourth one down in that last series of pictures is very interesting. A locking whittler?
