Pattern numbers

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.

Pattern numbers

Post by stockman »

I picked up a R3513 whittler. It has square bolsters. I looked it up in Stewart and Ritchie Remington book the R3513 is a Stockman with round bolsters. So I looked in my Remington C-5 catalog, that picture matched my knife. My question is did they reuse pattern numbers? Harold

Harold, are you wondering about round vs square bolster? If so, that pattern came in both round and square bolster. Many models had both style bolsters as well as various shield types. Hope this helps,
John

Thanks John, I knew Remington did the same numbers on their muskrats. Round and square bolsters. Harold
