1986 Remington Banana Jack Bullet R1263, a hunter with 2 blades. A large Clip that is 4 1/8 inches and a Pen that is 3 inches long. It is banana shape, double nickel silver bolsters, lined pin end. Camillus made this knife and sold by Remington with Delrin handles, jig bone pattern. The over all length is 9 ½ inches; the closed length is 5 5/16 inches. This is a very close copy to the original R1263 except for the stainless steel blades and Delrin handles. This has been one of the most popular and sought after of the sixth issue of the new Bullets. This knife has been named the Banana Jack Bullet in both the old and new issue.

Well I wish Jack Bares would speak up. Let me call some of my friends in the Cutlery industry next week and see what they say. My grandkids are flying in from Florida on July 19th for 2 weeks, so I my be preoccupied with other things. I will try and post more knife pictures, if possible.

I think all the bullets produced since 2007 have been produced by Bear & Sons. They started making them when Camillus closed the doors.

Very nice, Gus. I've been seeing some bullet knives on ebay that are saying it is a new run with a new tang stamp. One of the sellers claim is that it made in the Madison NC factory. Any body know anything about this? I'm wondering if these are counterfeits. I haven't heard anything about a new tang stamp coming from Madison NC.

This is the famous Jess Horn Bullet Knife. I had Jess make me a set of three Bullet Knives, I had to wait about 5 years and it almost caused me a divorce that year when my wife found out what I paid for these knives. This knife is 9 ¾ fully opened and 5 ½ inches closed with a 4 1/2 inch clip blade. It had nickel silver bolsters on both ends and real jigged bone handles. The tank is stamped “Horn” on one side and the serial number on the other side. Of all the custom knives that I own, this one is the best, walk and talk is very smooth and the blade centers perfect when closed.

This is the 1985 Remington Bullet R4358, a Big Muskrat with 2 blades, a long Spey 3 3/16 inches and a Muskrat 3 ¼ inches. The handle is Delrin composite, imitation jig bone with equal end, nickel silver bolsters. This knife was manufactured by Camillus and sold by Remington; this is a close and well-made copy of the Remington’s original R4353. This would be called the Big Muskrat as it was in the original. This is the fifth issue of the new Bullets.
