Remington Bullet Knife

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 Bullet Knife

Post by tonyb »

Hello, I purchased a Remington R1173L dated 1984. I know this is a fairly common knife, but when I have seen others they all have a lanyard hole where mine has 2 rivets. Is this correct? Thanks in advance.

I will give it a try, and I learned they are called pins not rivets. Sorry I also wonder if this is real bone, as it looks different than the others I have. Thanks in advance

Don't know anything about the reproduction Remingtons but that certainly looks like genuine bone.

I couldn't find the exact knife ..but look at the Cutco Bullwhip 1882...so I bet that your knife is probably made by Alcas
