All About Pocket Knives

okay, i always thought Remington was not a good brand until i started looking up my knives and found different. However, I have a R6533 that is very worn looking and has never been sharpened. I cannot find it anywhere but the stamp has remington in a circle on the baby blade, the blade that is like a file is next smallest, and the larger 3rd blade has the stamp with underlined remington as well as circle plus R6533. i saw one that said bone but this one looks like wood. yes i took my teeth and scratched and i think it wood or it just cleaned residue off it...lol anywhoooo....can anybody tell me what its worth? thanks

PICTURES,of the knife and tang stamps___ are,what's needed *** good luck**

sorry took so long....juice blinked...storm must be coming okay its rusty as a cob but once cleaned, i think i gotta winner

The stamps appear to be normal Remington stampings. The handle material is bone as is indicated by the final "3" in the pattern number R6533. The knife is called an equal end whittler, which is a nice pattern. The blades HAVE been sharpened extensively, so much so that they no longer retain their original shape, probably down 15-20%.

I personally wouldn't test handle materials using my teeth (or anything else, other than my eyes), on the off chance that I might damage either the handle material or my teeth.

Stewart and Ritchies guide to Remington Knives places that knife at $250 I assume thats mint. Using Blades Guide scale would probably put that knife on the low-end at $90. Of course value on any knife is subject to many factors.Slim

There were no scratch marks is y i didnt think it SHARPENED lol and as for my scratch with teeth, im not n it to win it, i just was gonna throw it away, not im going to clean it and give it away. Its not about collecting to me, i just like learning. Peace

It is jigged bone as stated above.

It looks like someone replaced the pins on the ends, they seem kind of large to be original. It is still a good carry knife and a good thing you did not throw it away

Thank you

The quality of the pre 40 Remingtons will rival almost any brand of that time period. Yours has a fingernail file blade, cool little knife.

i see u a Bluegrass lover...... I live in Home of The Osborne Brothers Festival... Their uncle Sam (rip), used to make the best moonshine this side of the Mississippi First wknd in August...come checc it out

I used to play that festival every year when I was with a band called "Crossroads". This is a pic taken at the Osborne Bros. Homecoming Festival in Hyden:

Well now,,,,,small world.... then u surely no Vernon Couch and Pugo....thems my buds

Yeppers, I've known Vernon for probably 20+years, and Johnny "Cornbread" Browning. The "Pugo" name doesn't ring a bell with me though.

Isn't Vernon related to Paul Burns' wife?

idk paul burns....oooo u no pugo if u seen him as he thinks he runs the festival...lol i love him tho. yeah no johnny good....he n i both worked for county under my best friend kenneth witt when he was judge u prolly no him...johnny was n his band Northfork

I think that Paul Burns was married to Vernon's sister, and I think Vernon is brother to Manuel Couch, known him a long time too.
