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.
You men are showing some beautiful knives and some that are scarce and not often seen in such great condition and etching. Great showing and a great thread Keith!

BISSELL'S. Interesting history about them as I researched the knife. Started as a crockery shop and invented a sweeper to pick up sawdust. It was a fun read.
This ones etched but no model# I can’t seem to b able to find another anywhere either

I'll post a fee pictures out of the catalog. Then some out of my collection. I'd love to see some of the different etched blades you guys have.
Lots of awesome knives in this thread!
Here's one in a bit rougher shape- the etching is hard to see, and secondary blade has a chip, but I like it none-the-less. R23CH
That's a transitional knife, made by the Pal knife company, using parts they bought from the Remington Cutlery division after they shut down. I'd say it was made in or very close to 1941. I've got a couple of Pal etched, Remington tang stamped knives.
That is a nice one.
