Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Keith, an interesting fact is that Endicott Johnson had both black bone and real brown bone on their knives. Also, another company was Hanover Shoes. May have been all part of the same company, anyone know? John

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
John just a quick comment. The two companies in discussion were not affiliated with one another other than in companies manufacturing shoes and participating in the sales of shoes. They may have bought or rented machinery from United but were in competition with one another in the Market in the 1920’s and 1930’s perspectively. This time frame was selected due to the manufacturing of the Remington knives in question. Great detailed info on the web concerning each of the companies in question.
My guess is what company A was doing company B was competing and trying to “one up” for the consumer’s patronage in it’s promotional items.

Interesting, thank you for commenting. Some of these old companies are hard to investigate. Thanks Rocky.

Is the Bowen knife marked Bower? Harold
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
R3003
To my taste buds this knife has it all. Swell center, pinched grooved slanted bolsters, punch, big swooping clip blade.

Missed that one Keith, it is a great knife.
Picked up one of the metal handle single spey blade knives, blade looks unused, tang stamp poorly struck.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
How about some fixed blades?
Top to bottom- RH4, RH51, RH28, RH29 & RH43
Sheaths are original with snaps, except the black one is a replacement. Some have the "Remington UMC" stamped into the leather.

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Thanks guys.
The RH43 is pretty pristine, I don't think anyone ever used it.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Anyone see a Remington like this before? I think it's an advertising knife, maybe a giveaway. No pattern number. Plastic black scale/frame with a little piece is springsteel inserted, hope you can see it. A little chip at the mark, but otherwise in decent shape. Long pull and half stops too.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
I've seen them before. I'd say a limited amount were made. I think they are cool and seldom seen.
