Remington Barlows

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 Barlows

Post by remington collector »

Remington was notorious for using the same bolsters, liners, backsprings, and handles and just changing the blade configuration to come up with a differnt pattern number. Consider the barlow pattern, they used a different main blade and just changed the pattern #. They used a clip, spear, spey, sheepfoot and a razor blade all as a main blade and sometimes omitted the secondary pen blade to come up with at least 12 different patterns. I think I need one to have all the barlow patterns Remington produced.
