This will get you good and confused. These are the two other knives of the pattern number. A R1062 and a R1063. And you can see the R1063 is different I've seen this before in other patterns. I'm sure they made the R1063 with two bolsters but I dont have an example.JohnR wrote: Thanks Keith. You actually helped me learn, went and found out about the Remington numbering system and a 1 does indicate redwood, does say it was mainly used on work knives so I guess it may be unusual on a jack.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Here is an interesting knife to me. The factory is a German factory. Quickpoint is stamped on the tang of the pen blade. I've seen many advertising knives with that stamp. Quickpoint was a company that would personalize stuff for your business back in the day. It's odd to me that a German company would contract an American company for knives, unless they were buying other advertising stuff from quickpoint. I found a herders knife exactly the same online.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Today I received this mint condition, swelled center, 3-blade, Remington whittler pocket knife.
No pattern # stamped or etched on the tang. But, per the seller, it is pattern # RE18293.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
The handles often appear to be something like rosewood or another reddish hardwood. Always seemed odd to me to see it listed as Redwood and not red wood? When I see Redwood I think of the coastal Redwoods of California and that wood is soft and plain and not suitable for knife scales.JohnR wrote:Thanks Keith.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Keith I‘ve written on this topic in the forum. This goes back to knives authorized in production by Remington. Quickpoint made many knives for Remington. I believe this is one of those advertising knifes authorized by Remington celebrating a “small” Solingen cutlery factory that was authorized by Remington to produce select knives in Germany. Hence we find the rare knives made that have the unique German Remington stamped logo or the German advertising made knife that stamped “Authorized in Germany”. Research does lean in this direction as being correct. You, in my opinion have a special knife substantiating this information. Great little knife!

Rocky, I think this is a late 30's knife. Do you agree or do you think it's a 60'-70's knife?
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?

Keith, Chris, thank you, Chris totally agree, pen in front of main. Keith, yea the spey blade Barlows are tough to find, I've managed to put a small collection of vintage ones together and was very pleased to add the Remington.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
I do think that this is a knife from that era from the pictures posted and the description provided. Great find and I believe important to research on the authorized German factory that produced knives for Remington as well. It could be an important key that can be used to unlock questions related to other German made Remington logo knives in that era.espn77 wrote:Rocky, I think this is a late 30's knife.
