i have a couple of remington knives they are really nice knives here is one i recently bought for my collection it has a tool to adjust your choke on your shot gun...
This is the Remington 1982 Bullet R1123 Trapper with 2 blades. A long Spey 3 5/8 inch and a Muskrat 3 5/8 inch. It has a single bolster, nickel silver, blade end. The handle is made of Delrin, imitation jib bone. This was the first of the Remington Annual Bullet Knives. It was made for them by Camillus, but sold by Remington for that year only. It was intended to help sales of their model 4 and 6 rifles. If you bought one of those rifles you could purchase one of these knives for $29.95. Most of them were sold without rifles for $39.95. This is a very close copy of the original R1123 except that it had stainless steel blades and Delrin handles.
You won't find the 1982 Bullet for anywhere near that price now. I've been looking for one for a good price and they are going for between 5 and 6 hundred dollars. Nice looking knife, Gus.
This is the 1983 Remington Baby Bullet R1173 with 2 blades. It has a Long Spey 2 7/8 inches and a Muskrat 2 7/8 inches. The handle is made of Delrin, imitation jig bone. It has a single bolster, made of nickel silver, on the blade end. This was the second model of the second issue Remington Bullets. Camillus made it and it follows closely the shape and dimension of the original Baby Bullet. The main differences are the stainless steel blades and Delrin handles. It is a well-made, sturdy knife, sold new for $39.95.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Here are two Bowen Bullet Knives. The larger knife, model R1306 is a single clip blade, 3 ½ inches long, this knife is 8 1/8 inches opened and 4 ½ inches closed, Delrin handles jigged to look like bone. On the blade is says Bowen Knife, Atlanta, U.S.A. and on the tang it says Bowen U.S.A.
The smaller knife, model R1306B is a single clip blade, 2 ½ inches long, this knife is 6 inches opened and 3 ½ inches closed, Delrin handles jigged to look like bone. On the blade is says Bowen Knife, Atlanta, U.S.A. and on the tang it says Bowen U.S.A.
