I have two addition knife books I use; one is Remington Cutlery Catalog No. C30 and Remington Bullet Knives by Mel Brewster. Mel and I were best friends; we would always meet at the Great Western Show hunting down old knives and talking about the good old days. I see Mel’s book up on Amazon for $175.00 these days, Mel must be turning over in his grave.
I have been thinking about replacing one of my larger user lockback knives and I am leaning toward a 1990 Remington lockback with real bone handles. It has a sterling bullet. Anyone familuar with this model. Please let me know what y'all think about it.

These were made for and sold exclusively by Smokey Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville, Tennessee. They made 5,000 and the current value is $100.00 with box and papers. If there are any cracks, missing box or other knife defects, deduct 20%.
Silver Bullet Reproduction series of knives were made from 1988 to 2002. They all had genuine bone handles and inlaid “Bullet” shields of sterling silver. The shields on each of these knives is stamped STERLING. These were made for and sold exclusively by Smokey Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville, Tennessee.

This is the Remington 2001 Bullet Knife Mariner R1615T toothpick pattern. The blade is made of stainless steel, tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-59. The liners are made of non-rusting brass and the handles are made of Tortoise Shell Celluloid. This knife was manufactured and assembled by skilled American craftsmen, right here in the U.S.A. I love the handles of this knife and the 2002 knife; wish I had purchased more when I had the chance.
I was cruising my local swap meet early Sunday morning and found a lady selling a box of old book, papers, etc. In the bottom of this box was a Remington Knife Catalogue No 4. It is 16 pages long, all in black and white. There are complete model numbers, even giving the model numbers for Stag, Pearl, Buffalo Horn, etc. My heart was beating faster and faster, when I asked her what was the price on the catalogue and she said $1.00. I could not pay her fast enough and get back to my truck. I can’t find a date on the catalogue but the address for Remington Arms Co on Cunard Building, 25 Broadway, New York. It looks old, has stains on the front and back cover, looks like it has been sitting in a drawer for many years.
This is the Remington Bullet Knife 2002 The Apprentice R295T with a muskrat and spey blades made of stainless steel, tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-59. The liners are made of non-rusting brass and the handles are made of Tortoise Shell Celluloid. This knife was manufactured and assembled by skilled American craftsmen, right here in the U.S.A. I love the handles of this knife and the 2001 knife; wish I had purchased more when I had the chance.
This is page 8 & 9 from the Remington Arms Company Catalogue No. C4 that I found at my local swap meet last Sunday. There are no Bullet knives in this catalogue; still trying to figure out what year this was published.
I think the Remington Arms Company Knife catalogue is from 1923 or 1924. The Remington RS3333 Boy Scout Knife was first produced in 1923 and it is on page 9 of this catalogue.
This is the Remington Bullet Poster Knife 20 Anniversary R1123. This knife was packaged in a collector’s tin, with artwork on the tin also by L.W. Duke.

The two blades are made of stainless steel and the spey blade is etched, tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-59. The liners are made of non-rusting brass. This 20th Anniversary Bullet Poster Knife was made right here in the U.S.A with the same high quality craftsmanship as previous Bullet Knives.

Billy, I do to but I am trying to replace a couple of my users. That Robeson is the one I was gonna replace with this bullet knife. I changed my mine, I'm gonna get a GEC large lockback to make the change. The Robeson is a Mt. Man with Amber scales and D2 steel blade.
I started trying to update my Remington list tonight and I have around 74 listed. I know that I haven't updated the last round of Bullet knives I bought from ebay. I didn't realize I had so many. Some of them are imports, but most are USA made. it is very time consuming trying to catalog all of the knives I have. I have all the Remington's in one bag, so at least I don't have to remember where I put them to double check them.
This is the Remington Bullet Veteran made in 2008 and dated on the tang. A Barlow pattern with a one-armed razor main blade and a pen blade. 3-1/2" closed with 2-1/2" razor blade and a 2" pen blade. Jigged bone handle and nickel silver bolster with the name Remington on the pile side bolster Like most Remington products, this knife is manufactured and assembled by skilled American craftsmen, right here in the U.S.A.
I seen the new 2012 bullet tonight and it is really a nice looking knife. SMKW had it on their show . It is a green/black baby bullet trapper with a stag bone type jigging. It was $79.99 on the show. It was one of the better looking bone handles in a few years.
Was that the Remington 2012 Baby Bullet "Old Faithful", model R1173. It looked like green wormgrooved bone handles, brass liners, nickel silver pins, bolsters and bullet shield. A lanyard hole, they were selling it for $79.99.
I am a member of the Remington Collector Club like many of you and glad to be a part. I did not get interested in Remington until the club reformed in 2009 even though I have been a collector of others for many years. I try and buy the new club knives as soon as they come out every year so as to have all the knives for my collection. Every year since the club formed I buy the club knife, the bullet knife, the event knife and the scout knife. Quit naturally I buy the knives as soon as they come out so I will not miss them. I have noticed a pattern over the last few years that is some what irritating. After the knives have been out for a year or so Remington runs a drastically reduced price for the same knives that a dues paying member paid top dollar for. Understand the reduced price is also for a dues paying member. I understand these knives are left over and Remington is only trying to move them but it does seem unfair to those members who paid full price. Any thoughts or suggestions for Remington. A member or collector would need to buy as soon as available.
I've learned to wait until the end of year on the Remington knives to get the prices where they should be. The new bullet knives always sell for more when they are first introduced. I always buy things for winter when summer starts, and visa versa for summer clothes. you can save a lot by buying off the clearance racks. A lot of knife inventory from all makers happens this time of year to clear out old for new.
Thanks for the comments. It sounds like I need to use a little common sense. It is that age old thing of getting to you when you think you have to get it or cannot wait. My main defense is buying as soon as they come out in fear of it not being available later. I would hate to have all the knives except maybe one or two because I was waiting on a price reduction, even thought it turns out to be significant. I have no problem waiting to purchase anything, especially in light of saving a few dollars. Anybody that collects, I am sure feels the same way. Again it is that chance of one of the varieties that I am trying to collect not being available if I wait. Perhaps I should change my strategy and see what happens.
Gus, is work keeping you busy. I need to get all my Remington's pictured here. I saw the 2009 Remington Boy Scout knife for $39.99 the other night.I have one put aside for one of the grandson's when he reaches eagle scout.
