Remington R2075 ?

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.

Remington R2075 ?

Post by Big Barn »

I'm not a Remington collector nor do I collect smallish pen knives. Over this past weekend, my wife & I were doing a little shopping & she found this little Remington - she thought the red with black swirls handles were pretty so for $10 I bought it. I noticed later that evening it was a Remington R2075. I don't have that particular model/style listed in any of my limited reference materials. Sorry for the lousy picture - the tang stamp is a circle REMINGTON over UMC & the back of the tang is stamped R2075, 2 blade, 3 1/8" closed. After a good rub down & a light cleaning (paper towel & oil) - it's decent little pen knife with a little pitting & no handle cracks. It also has good walk & talk and no wobble in either blade. It doesn't look like a peanut to me, just some sort of small jack. thoughts ? ::hmm::

Nice knife, it appears to be authentic. Unusually for a Remington this knife doesn't have a shield, however, the knife appears in just this way in Stewart and Ritchie's book, they call it a sleeveboard jack.
