A new Remington find

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.

A new Remington find

Post by orvet »

I just got back from vacation yesterday.
While on vacation I managed to find a few knives.
I almost didn't buy this knife. I passed the first day I saw it.
On the way home my wife & I drove past the store & I went in for a second look.
I bought it, but don't know what I have.
There is no number on the knife.
I tried to find it in my Remington book without any luck.

I was hoping one of you Remington guys could tell me what I have and an approximate value.

Thank you,
Dale

Thanks TJ.
As I suspected it is a reproduction.
Glad I didn't pay a lot of money for it. :lol:

I will take it to the OKCA Club meeting next week and show Dennis, the author of the Knife World article.
I am sure there is more to the story than what he wrote in the article. There usually is.
When researching you find tons of info, more than you can put into one article.
The key being a good writer is to know what to include and what to leave out.
Dennis is good at it. He is sort of my writing coach and the editor of the OKCA Knewsletter, our club paper.

Thanks again for the links,
Dale
