Remington Dog Grooming Knife

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 Dog Grooming Knife

Post by PA Knives »

I have not posted to this section before, but felt this was the best place for this latest find that I received. I am an AKC dog show judge and travel around the Country with this other passion I have. I own a Spratt's grooming knife, but always wanted an original Remington. Well a quick buy it now on eBay produced this fine example at a great price. Blades are stained but certainly not worn at all. It still has the etch but not as clean as I'd like, no cracks and snaps like it should. I LOVE the dog shield too. That is just awesome in my opinion. Just had to brag a little on this fine piece of 1930's cutlery. Yea, they knew how to make em back then so they did.

David,
That's a great looking Remington! I understand the function of the longer blade, but what about the short one that looks like a file?

The other side of the master looks the same as the secondary, just a longer blade for different stripping length on Terriers. It just looks like a file because that's how the teeth were cut into the blade.

Yep. Me too. Except it was made for Steven's by Case.

The words vintage and antique are vague. Actually most words are vague. Even the word vague is vague.
