Unknown Remington

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.

Unknown Remington

Post by RandyFew »

Here is a small Remington that I picked up off eBay a few years back. It is not an original Remington. I believe it to be delrin. I've never seen this jigging pattern before. Also, I have not seen another like it.

Pretty jigging. I sure do wish that it was bone.

I have seen a number of similar knives with the same jigging pattern. All had genuine bone handles and I think your's does as well. Not sure where these are coming from but they are unauthorized reproductions. Many sellers try to and manage to pass them off as originals.

Very cool grinding toy with the knife. Is it old?

Not an old toy. It is a tin litho knife man from China. They can be found on eBay.
