H-T-T knives

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.

Anyone know the date that the R373 jack was shown and offered as a premium in HTT? Thank you, John

The 4 HTT Premium Knives made by Remington. Was the R4466 a premium knife?

I don't think the R4466 was a premium knife. I thought the add would be welcome.

Ditto with Jim. It might be added that the Bulldog knife with both etch and tang stamp is much more rare. One could only wonder if the order was filled out with tang stamped blades that would normally be used for the other knives that used that large master blade. John

Jim, I was a believer that the htt knives were later (30's)
Knives till I got this knife. This bulldog has an early stamp.

Keith, I believe the HTT Bulldog was offered in either 1926 or 1936. I will look tonight. I have a reprint of the HTT magazine. John

John, the stamp on my knife is 1921-24 theoretically. So that would make me think they should have given them out a little earlier or the blade was left over parts.

I'm finding out that there were quite a few knives that were offered besides the big bullet trapper, little trapper and the single blade bulldog. Very interesting to look threw these magazines. Great knife John ::tu::
