Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Hello guys..I am an opportunistic knife collector..yard sales..antique thrift what have you...I love reading about knives..and I enjoy the Remington UMC history..but most of these fine old knives are well out of the price range that keeps me married..So today I was extremely excited too snag an old Remington on the cheap its well warn (Character) if my research is correct this is a 1921-24 remington R6674. It has good snap and half stops on all the well worn blades and a crack in the mother of pearl on pile side but cover isn't loose...if one of you experts could confirm my research or let me down easy it would be greatly appreciated.. thanks in advance

Lets make that 99% certain it is horn. I have seen another identical knife to that one at the OKCA show in Eugene and one other online. Maybe it was this knife. I was in search of a nice example with horn handle and Lostvalley Jim led me to a dealers table with a knife like the one in your photo. Sure enough it was minty with etch and had horn handles. Problem was it had the 5 instead of the 0 just like yours. I think they are legit and not counterfits.espn77 wrote:This R3445 bothers me the most. I look at it often and am 95% certain its horn which should make it a 0

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
In my humble opinion these knives may be “lunchbox knives” or a few were “made special at request with horn scales” by an executive or someone else. “I do not believe they were normal production line knives.” Remington’s inspectors and craftsmen of that time period would not have allowed the pattern number to differentiate from the scale material by oversight . That goes against all their marketing philosophy, ideologies and guarantees. Pattern numbers were there for the Jobber to re-order knives. Is it a Remington knife because it consist of Remington parts and “made” originally that way...that is where one could fine room to argue the point. Would one buy it with the knowledge of such discrepancies? Sure, maybe because one looks at the novelty and uniqueness of the knife. I would buy it. But I would be hard pressed to agree it was manufactured as a pattern “production line knife” by Remington. Again...JMHO
By the way Wbyonder to AAPK and the Remington forum!

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Playing with my knives this evening and got to looking at the less seen, not high dollar, used knives I have and thought I'd share them
R893. An easy open with a clip. The only easy open Remington made with a clip.
R6883. Warncliffe blades are seldom seen.
R6265. Pretty dang fancy
R3943 with faint etch and tang stamp. Not low dollar but seldom seen.

I just picked up this Sheepfoot Barlow to go with the Clip and Spear Barlows I've found. A decent trio, now I just need to find the other variations.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Nice. The sheep's foot is seldom seen
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
I'm going to step out on a limb here and hopefully not fall.
I think this R4733 is a salesman type knife or an unfinished knife. Having a blank shield and no etching on the blade of either Remington or of a dog food company on it. The teeth are the sharpest I've seen. Looks to have no use.

Not the best condition and other members here have better examples but this is mine.
R4283 five blade sow belly.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Here are a couple that make me scratch my head. A very low end knife, so I feel confident that they haven't been tinkered with. The R1573 and R1573CH. I would think the CH knife would have the ring hole and the other not. But the exact opposite????? Interesting to me.

Sow Belly is nice Keith.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Thank you Keith. Are others having trouble with getting on AAPK and moving around? I am getting server messages and just wondering if it is just my computer and or connection.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
John that is nice. I can remember when the 5 blade sow belly was almost never seen, now they are on AAPK more often. Maybe because of the high membership. I'm having problems with the site.

PearlRoosterMan, the 5 blade Remington Sowbelly is very nice example of a very hard to attain knife.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Thank you for the compliments on my 5 blade sowbelly. Actually the first really very high grade Remington I bought several years ago. Originally from the Paul Davis collection. About as close to mint as you will see. Thanks again.
