Remington knives with an etch

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.

Amazing those knives survived in such good condition. You guys are dedicated. I guess Remington made a lot of knives and they have been valued by collectors.

I’m really new here, so I hope I’m putting this in the right place! Here is an RH51 Boy Scout knife from my grandfathers collection. I’m interested in more info on it! I am very interested in the history behind these knives!

Picked up this little advertising Remington. Turns out the company started business over 180 years ago. Worked up an article for the okca since company has an office in Eugene Oregon but headquarters are in Massachusetts where company first started.
