Pattern #R-106 Question

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.

Sorry for the confusion. What I was trying to ask is. The Remington pattern # R106, used on the above knife. Is that the one and only time, that pattern number was used by Remington? Thanks

This is not a pattern that I am familiar with, but using the Search feature on here I located several. All that I see have stag handles and appear to have been made by Camillus for Remington's 75th anniversary. Some pictures only show a Main blade, while some show two blades (that may just be the way the pictures were taken, or there may be two different styles - I did not study the results that far).

Thank you. Yes, all of the, 75th Anniversary knives from (1995) I have seen are stag and 2 blade Jacks. All are numbered R106. I have searched everywhere for that same pattern number all they whey back to Remington's knife manufacturing beginning. Books, AI and the web. I just found it sort of unusual, to not see it replicated before or after that 75th anniversary knife issued in 1995. Since most pattern numbers are used time and again over the years. Thanks for the reply and information.

May be one of the modern “reproduction” knives where you have to ask, reproduction of what? Per the Remington handle materials numbering system in AAPK’s reference section, the number for genuine stag is “6”, but I don’t find pattern R106 for original Remington knives in any of my reference books. https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... -materials

Thanks for the info and replies. It appears the R106, was used to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the R103. The R103 was the first pattern produced by Remington in circa Feb. of 1920. Remington or Camillus substituted the #6 stag for the #3 bone. To create the R106, 75th anniversary knife. So, the R106 is an authorized reproduction of the original R103, only with the handle scales changed to stag instead of bone. So, it appears the pattern #R106 was only used this one time. Your help and guidance are appreciated.
