2 knives

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.

2 knives

Post by just bob »

Here are 2 Remington knives I got with some other things. The knife with green scales is decent but has a broken backspring on the master blade. Is it possible to find another backspring on another knife and replace this or are these backpsprings specific to a certain knife brand and style? The old soldier at the bottom has seen a lot of use. The picture should enlarge on these.

The backspring should not be too hard to find. It will need to come from a Remington of the 1920-1940 range, of the same style and pattern if you want it to work perfectly with no metal work.
However a backspring can be made from a blank piece of steel if you are skilled in metal work and tempering.
Glad to see these Remingtons. ::tu::
