The lobster pattern was very popular at one time, like 100 years ago. Most of them had manicure blades, and many had a bail so they could also function as a pocket watch fob (think bankers, clerks, accountants, office workers - not folks that worked trades or agriculture). Most knife makers offered one or more lobster patterns in their product lines at the time. Here's an old thread with some dandy examples.

Thank you for the education, and the link. A lot of great knives in that thread!

Got my quick release oil in today. One drop and that thing pops open like I can't believe! It startled me the first time.

The bottom knife (whitish handled gunstock) does not appear to be a Remington. The others look like nice knives.

What makes you think that sir?
I'm only attempting to add information to the thread, and not doubting you for a second...

That's a China made kickoff. Definately not Remington made and doesn't have the quality of a German made 70's knife. Not authorized by Remington. Stamp, handles, pattern. Everything.

Just spend some time closely examining all the knives, soon you'll be able to tell the difference.

I will certainly do that. I have a lot to learn, and I'm thankful you and others pointed this one out. It seems Chinese knockoffs leave no stone unturned.

Lan was kind enough to offer me the lobster knife.
It fits right in with the others. Thanks.

That does make a fine addition to the family!
I'm going back, and looking closer.
You fellas have some keen eyes!
