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.

This is a rare Bowen Lockback Bullet R1306 with as single blade. The clip blade is 3 ½ inches long and is etched by Shaw-Leibowitz in 1976 by the artist team of Sherill Shaw and Leonard Leibowitz. On the blade it says 1776-1976 America’s Bicentennial. This knife has a single nickel bolster on the blade end and Delrin handles, an imitation of dyed jigged bone. The tang is stamped Bowen U.S.A.

I have the Remington R1173L. I thought I had gained ground on my bullet knife collection and found out I have a long way to go yet.

This is a 1984 Remington Bullet Pattern R1173L, a lockback with one blade, a clip that is 2 3/4 inches long. It has Delrin handles, an imitation of dyed, jigged beef bone. Made by Camillus and sold by Remington, it is not a copy of any original Bullet that I know about. It is, however, that same size as the original Baby Bullet with one blade instead of two. This knife and the 1984 R1303 were offered at the same time and they were the third issue of these second generation Bullets. They are already a much sought after collector’s item.

This is a 1984 Remington Bullet Pattern R1303, a lockback with one blade, a clip that is 3 5/8 inches long. It has Delrin handles, an imitation of dyed, jigged beef bone. Made by Camillus and sold by Remington, it is a copy of an original Bullet that is quite rare and also quite expensive. This knife and a smaller version were only sold in 1984. They are already a much sought after collector’s item.
