I need a little help.....

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 need a little help.....

Post by k_kess »

Well, maybe a lot!
Greetings all.. I recently inheireted and have started cataloging my Dad's knife collection. I need some input...
The display case was expensive but believe it to be a reproduction.. Thoughts!
The RS3333 has a MEDIUM length screwdriver, line bolster and a FLAT shackle... Hmmm...
The RS4783 has the can opener at the wrong end requiring that the blade and cap puller be reversed...
The third knife has R4783 (Not RS) stamped in a well defined 50% larger font.... am I too picky?

Thanks in advance, Ken

Your knives look to be original. The etched one is very nice. There is a guy from Canada, his name is Tony, the box looks to be like the ones he makes. In my opinion he does a nice job. You have a nice collection. ::tu::
The cut out shields were only made for one year and are the hardest to find with an etch. I've not seen a flat bail on a Remington scout before, like the first knife you posted, I've only seen the round style. There is a wide range of variations of the Remington scout knives. Others here are much more knowledgeable than me. Be interested to here what they say.

4783's can have several configurations as I recall. Can opener, bottle opener, and bail can be on either end.
