Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?

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.

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.

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.

Thanks guys. ::handshake::

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

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.

I've seen them before. I'd say a limited amount were made. I think they are cool and seldom seen. ::tu::
