This is the 1996 Remington Bullet Knife Trail Hand R3843 with five blades. This is a popular scout knife pattern. The blades of the R3843 are made of 440 Stainless steel, tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-59. Liners are made of non-rusting brass. It has durable Delrin jigged handles, double nickel silver bolsters, pin end and a bail. This knife came with either a cartridge or bullet shield, the model number is the same for both knives, this is the cartridge shield model. This knife was made by Camillus and sold by Remington.

Sad news, I called Collector Books in Paducah, KY today to talk about the error in the Remington Knives Past & Present by Ron Stewart and Roy Ritchie. They asked me to please send them a letter stating the problem; she also told me that they would be out-of-business this December 2011 or January 2012. If you have ever wanted a Remington Knives Past & Present book, you should order one before the end of this year.

This is the 1995 Remington Bullet knife Master Guide R1273. The long spear blade is 4 ¼ inches long and the long pen blade is 3 inches long, made of 440 stainless steel, tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-59. Liners are made of non-rusting brass. Durable Delrin handles jigged to look like bone; this knife was made by Camillus and sold by Remington. The over all length is 5 ¼ inches long. This knife is Banana shape, double nickel silver bolsters, pin end. This is a very close copy of the original R1273 except for the stainless steel blades and Delrin handles.

I called Remington Knife in Madison, NC and talk to one guy that has worked there for 8 years and he thinks that Bear & Sons started making all the Bullet Knives in 2006. The Acme United Corporation bought the brand names and intellectual property of Camillus Cutlery Company in 2007, one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States, for $200,000 in a bankruptcy auction.

I just recently bought one of 1994 bullets on ebay. It is a big knife.

This is the Remington 1994 Bullet Camp Knife model R4243. This knife has four blades, a 3-¾ inch clip, a 2-¼ inch pen, a 1-¾ inch screwdriver and a 3-inch punch blade and a bail. The R4343 hand-honed blades are made of 440 Stainless steel, tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-59. Liners are made of non-rusting brass. This knife is 4 ¾ inches long when closed, with durable Delrin handles jigged, with a bullet shield. I understand that there are two models of this knife, a long bolster and a short bolster version. This is the only one I have. This knife was made by Camillus and sold by Remington.

Another Remington Picture. Here is a Remington 20th anniversary bullet knife. This is a 4 1/8" closed Trapper with Red and Yellow smooth delrin. This is a 1982 to 2002  which is the year it was issued. I believe that this one was made by Camillus.

In the book Remington Knives Past & Present by Ron Stewart and Roy Ritchie, on the bottom of page 264, the knife is identified as R1273. If you look on the top of page 265, that knife also a R1273. I have published two books, and I can tell you from experience, you can't do enough proof reading.
