May I join the fun?

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.

Welcome to AAPK. Glad to have you aboard. That's a very nice display you have there. As everyone else has said, let's see those babies on parade with some individual pictures.

The theme of this collection is the handle materials 0-9. Hope to upgrade to examples with blade etch over time as I find them. Here is a 0 for Buffalo horn. It is a Remington R590.

Here is handle material 1. Listed in the book as red wood. Looks like maybe rosewood on these. The knife in the display case is an R31 and it is being bumped out by the R901 with the large spey blade.

I missed #2. Black. I have seen black composite and ebony wood. This 982 is black composite and may be a salesman sample?

I think some of the Remington totem pole knives were ivory.
