Remington Bullet Knife Release News - The American Cutler 1922

[LongBlade]

I thought some folks may be interested in seeing this... I was going through the issues from 1922 of The American Cutler and found this announcement for this bullet knife though it does not note the model # (but you guys will recognize it) - thought the Remington forum would enjoy this if you haven't seen it already... It was tough clipping this from a pdf but after fooling around awhile I had some luck - it may need to be enlarged.

Thanks for sharing that Lee. I always wonder, maybe someone can enlighten me. Why was bone called stag in the early days and stag was called genuine stag? Did all cutlery companies do this or just Remington?

That is a R1128.

By the add it sounds like they were advertising for the R1123, R1128?

The R1123 and R1128 are the same knife with different handle material. The pattern number on many of the R1128 looks suspicious because you can readily see that the number "3" in 1123 was overstamped to make the "8" in 1128. Remington did the overstamping themselves.

In the catalog cut picture that Lee LongBlade provided you will note the nail nick on the skinning blade is shown on the front (mark) side of the blade, but on the real knife it is on back (pile) side of the blade - as would be expected from a functionality perspective. The nail nick wouldn't be accessible if it were on the front side of the blade because it would be covered by the sticking blade.
