Unpacking.....

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.

Keith, what a fantastic display! Not only does it contains amazing knives, but there is an awesome cross-section of everything Remington knife related. The boxes, sheaths, catalogs, books, rolls, pads, etc., are amazing and the and the large old case to hold it all is the cherry on top. ::tu:: ::tu::

PS: Can't wait to see what's next. :)

The big case had a tag underneath it when I got it that said assembled in 1919. In quite a few of the old cutlery catalogs they were for sale. One company must have made them for everyone. I'm going with it being an original Remington counter. ::shrug::

I second that statement! Mine has been a 51 year love of the pocket knife....... I certainly could have done it without the support of my wonderful family.

Looks awesome my friend. Like the old Remington ammo display also in addition to all the knives, catalogs, boxes, etc.

Keith, were you lucky to have the built-in niche already available or did you have to do some carpentry work? It looks perfectly sized for the cases you put into it.
