English Style Jack

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.

English Style Jack

Post by stockman »

4 1/4" Remington Beautiful old knife R1023. Remington made some really nice knives. This one has
the wrap around backspring, beautiful scales and fine fit and finish. Tight old knife with 1/2 stops.
I have owned this knife for years. There is a light etch on master. Fine example of Remington quality.

Really nice Harold. By wrap around, do you mean closed spring.? I have a R100B cattle knife with a closed spring and"DollarKnife" etch on the M blade. Mine is stamped Pat. pending on the cover. I didn't know Rem. made other closed spring patterns. Interesting. ___Dave

One of my favorite patterns Harold,and she looks lovely.Flat bolsters on one end and roped or whatever is the proper term on the pivot end.

I call those slim jacks,more gentlemanly at 3 3/4"-4 1/4"
