Ima wearing a KO Bossie rasslin robe

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.

I'm pretty sure I'm correct in saying that Pyremite is what Remington called their celluloid. I've had a few Remingtons with celluloid (premite) scales for years and have never had a problem but I do check them every few months just in case. That's a good looking knife and appears to have no problems. Probably will outlast both of us.___Dave

Remington Pyremite outgasses just like the other celluloid. The lighter clearer handles seem to be the worst. Like the tortoise shell. Many of those have blown up or turned brown. Black and other darker colors and the ones like yours seem to hold up better.
