Remington history?

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 history?

Post by panfishpal »

My Father passed away 3 years ago. My Mother was recently going through more of his personal things(it has been painful for her) and found a Remington HTT I guess that is hunter trapper trader. It is a really solid knife, appears very well constructed.

It is well used, but I was wondering if there was a way to find out approximately what year the knife is from?

My Father had a few knives and he used them quite often he always taught me to have a pocket knife they come in very handy. Any information on Remington's would be appreciated.

There were two HTT knives that I know of that you might have. A 3 3/4" trapper and a 5 1/4"
Bullet. the first would have HTT on shield the second you would need to know as it does not have Htt on the bullet shield could you do a picture. Both are nice property. as age I don't know exactly they are 1920 to1940. I have better information but I could not find it easily.
You could see a picture of the larger knife on this forum under articles and research Bullets
Pattern # 293
