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.
I sure like lookin at your knives Rocky. Especially like the fishing knife. I saw one on ebay the other day. In about as good of condition as yours, thought it was priced to high. In no time it was gone.
Quick Steel, thinking about your question...if your question is the knife just above the RH4 with the wide "ricasso" then that is the RH4b and the handle material is bone. Sorry trying to be helpful in answering your question.
Oh, and by the way Keith that fish knife you mentioned,(RH84) probably the same knife.It was priced too high but I was able to talk him down a little...still too high but I wanted it and was willing to settle at his new asking price as a buy it now option to put it in my collection. It is a dandy! Two knives to go to finish out that fish knife collection, the RH55 and a R1630.
Would appreciate any heads up on locating them.
Great looking Rh22 you've snagged!
I received a dandy little Remington today.
It is 7 3/8" long with a 4 inch blade.
I can't believe how beautiful the bone covers are on this thing.
The sheath at some point was soaked in oil and weakened the strap and it parted.
Thanks for looking.
You are sum'thin else Keith! I think you have a time machine and your going back and forth pick in' up knives! Great looking set and again hard to come by especially in that condition. Amazing collection Keith!
By the way do you have a key for your upright Remington DuPont counter top display? I have one but the door on back is locked. Wondered if it would fit mine and if a copy could be made.
