Nice knives, Gus. I have bought a few Bullet knives on ebay. I will get some pics posted soon. I still have about 10 years of issue to find and buy. Here is what I have found out about the reproduction knives of the Bullet series with the red and yellow delrin handles. They were made as a limited series in 2004 to commemorate Remington's move to Madison, NC. They are USA built, but I haven't found out who actually built them for Remington.

My 1995 Remington Bullet Knife, Master Guide R1279, on the box it says Remington Arms Company, Wilmington, DE 19898.  On my 1996 Remington Bullet Knife, Trail Hand R3843, there is nothing on the box or on the papers that gives a company location. On my 1997 Remington Bullet Knife, Lumber Jack, R4468, on the box it says Remington Arms Company, Madison, NC 27025-0700.

I think in 1995 that Remington Arms was in Delaware and started moving in 1996. Then in 1997 Remington Arms started using the Madison, NC address. Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.

This is a rare Bowen 126S Bullet Hunter with a 4-inch blade. It has real Stag handles with brass pins and a light brown sheath. The knife is 8 inches over all. The blade is made of 440C and is NOT tapered, making for a heavy knife. The finger guard is made of nickel silver. On one side of the blade, it is marked “A Bowen Knife, Atlanta, U.S.A” and on the tang it is marked “Bowen U.S.A.” On the reverse side of the tang it is marked 1092. I’m not sure, but I think these are serial numbers.

This is a rare Bowen 126 Bullet Hunter with a 4-inch blade. Has Delrin handles made to look like jigged bone and a dark brown leather sheath. The knife is 8 inches over all. The blade is made of 440C and is NOT tapered, making for a heavy knife. The finger guard is made of nickel silver. On one side of the blade, it is marked “A Bowen Knife, Atlanta, U.S.A” and on the tang it is marked “Bowen U.S.A.” On the reverse side of the tang it is marked 2509. I’m not sure, but I think these are serial numbers.

This is the 1991 Remington Bullet Trapper R-1178. This knife has two blades, a Long Spey 2 ¾ inches and a Muskrat 2 ¾ inches long with nickel silver bolster on the blade end. This is the tenth issue, manufactured by Camillus and sold by Remington. It is the same as the 1983 issue except for the handles, which are Delrin, India Stag pattern, and of course the model number and date.

This is the 1990 Remington Bullet Tracker R-1306. It has one Clip blade 3 ½ inches long and is a lockback. It has one nickel silver bolster. This knife has Delrin handles which much more durable that the natural Stag. The Delrin has cracked on this knife near the thong hole. At one time, you could send all of you cracked knives back to Camillus for a free repair. It took several months, but it was well worth it. This knife was manufactured by Camillus and sold by Remington and is the tenth issue

This is a 1989 Remington Bullet knife R1128 Jumbo Trapper. In 1989 the handles were genuine cocobolo wood. The pattern is the most popular of all of the Bullet knives, the Jumbo Trapper. 4-½ inch closed with a 3-5/8 inch Clip Point blade and a 3-5/8 inch Spey blade. This knife is from the second run of knives made by riveting the wood slabs to the brass liners. There was a big problem with wood splitting and cracking, so production was stopped to fix the problem. The fix was to glue the wood slabs to the brass linings. Fake rivets were added at an angle to reduce cracking. The single bolster is nickel silver as is the bullet shield. This knife was made by Camillus and sold by Remington; this is the ninth model of the new issue Bullets.
