Thanks for the comments. It sounds like I need to use a little common sense. It is that age old thing of getting to you when you think you have to get it or cannot wait. My main defense is buying as soon as they come out in fear of it not being available later. I would hate to have all the knives except maybe one or two because I was waiting on a price reduction, even thought it turns out to be significant. I have no problem waiting to purchase anything, especially in light of saving a few dollars. Anybody that collects, I am sure feels the same way. Again it is that chance of one of the varieties that I am trying to collect not being available if I wait. Perhaps I should change my strategy and see what happens.

I've learned to wait until the end of year on the Remington knives to get the prices where they should be. The new bullet knives always sell for more when they are first introduced. I always buy things for winter when summer starts, and visa versa for summer clothes. you can save a lot by buying off the clearance racks. A lot of knife inventory from all makers happens this time of year to clear out old for new.

I am a member of the Remington Collector Club like many of you and glad to be a part. I did not get interested in Remington until the club reformed in 2009 even though I have been a collector of others for many years. I try and buy the new club knives as soon as  they come out every year so as to have all the knives for my collection. Every year since the club formed I buy the club knife, the bullet knife, the event knife and the scout knife. Quit naturally I buy the knives as soon as they come out so I will not miss them. I have noticed a pattern over the last few years that is some what irritating. After the knives have been out for a year or so Remington runs a drastically reduced price for the same knives that a dues paying member paid top dollar for. Understand the reduced price is also for a dues paying member. I understand these knives are left over and Remington is only trying to move them but it does seem unfair to those members who paid full price. Any thoughts or suggestions for Remington. A member or collector would need to buy as soon as available.

I seen the new 2012 bullet tonight and it is really a nice looking knife. SMKW had it on their show . It is a green/black baby bullet trapper with a stag bone type jigging. It was $79.99 on the show. It was one of the better looking bone handles in a few years.

This is the Remington Bullet Veteran made in 2008 and dated on the tang.  A Barlow pattern with a one-armed razor main blade and a pen blade. 3-1/2" closed with 2-1/2" razor blade and a 2" pen blade. Jigged bone handle and nickel silver bolster with the name Remington on the pile side bolster Like most Remington products, this knife is manufactured and assembled by skilled American craftsmen, right here in the U.S.A.

I started trying to update my Remington list tonight and I have around 74 listed. I know that I haven't updated the last round of Bullet knives I bought from ebay. I didn't realize I had so many. Some of them are imports, but most are USA made. it is very time consuming trying to catalog all of the knives I have. I have all the Remington's in one bag, so at least I don't have to remember where I put them to double check them.

Billy, I do to but I am trying to replace a couple of my users. That Robeson is the one I was gonna replace with this bullet knife. I changed my mine, I'm gonna get a GEC large lockback to make the change. The Robeson is a Mt. Man with Amber scales and D2 steel blade.

I just keep all my Bullet knives for the collection instead of using.
