What model is this?

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.

What model is this?

Post by Targe »

I've been told Gentleman's knife and the flat blade is a letter opener, Doctors knife and the flat blade is a fleam, melon tester and the flat blade was for coring, blah blah blah...I did an internet and found some Doctors knives that have the same overall shape but none have the secondary blade made like this one.

I think the handles are celluloid.

Dr. Knife. The flat blade was used to sort through pills when counting and stirring when mixing up medicines. Imitation ivory handles made of Pyremite. John

Forgot to mention, the solid flat bolster was designed to crush pills when mixing compounds.

Most mentholatum knives I've seen had green print.

The waterfall scales are actually mother of pearl rather than the celluloid waterfall or cracked ice material.

Sorry espn77, My mentholatum imprint is green also. I am somewhat colorblind so I had my wife look at it and she said it was green. Knife has imitation ivory scales and no model number. Probably a contract knife. Randy
