Hi All,

As you probably know, I'm new to this club.  I've been collecting Bullet Knife Reproductions since the mid-1990's. I've got one knife for each year 1983-2010 except 1997 for which I have (2)  R4468's (not sure how that happened).  I've also got the 15th, 20th, 25th and 75th anniversary knives.  All told, I've got 42 Remington knives.  Aside from the Bullet Repros, everything else is a bit of a mixed bag.

Just wanted to say HI and introduce myself.

Tom

Tim, Welcome to the Remington Knife Club. We are glad you're here. I still am missing about 6 or 7 years on mine. I also have a mixed bag, but like them all.

Jack, just ask away and I will do my best to try and help guide you.

Hey Tom, take a picture of some of your knives and post the pictures. If you can.

Hi Jack, I am glad to see that you are still here. Are you still selling the Remington Bullet ?

This is the Remington Bullet Knife 2010 Double Strike, Model R2253. This year’s bullet knife is a new pattern to the bullet family. However, it is very old European pattern called a Copperhead, which has the same features as the popular trapper pattern. This unique pattern has new bone and the two blades are made of 440 high carbon stainless steel. The Clip blade is the maim blade and measures 2 ½ inches long with a long nail pull and the traditional Remington trademark etch on the blade. The back of the tang has a pattern number stamped while the front of the tang has the traditional Remington UMC Made in the USA stamp. The secondary blade is a spey blade that measures 2 3/8 inches long and has a long nail pull. Both blades are tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-59. The liners are made of quality brass and double nickel silver bolsters. The handles bear a new jig pattern called “Tree Bark” and are dyed a rich mahogany for a classic look. This knife is manufactured and assembled by skilled American craftsman right here in the U.S.A.

Nice, Gus.Here is a picture of mine.

Hey Billy, I'll have to post some of my bullets, when I get the chance. Keep em coming good buddy.

We would like to to see them, Robert.

This is the 2007 Bullet knife, R1373.  This one was #112 of 500 that were made.

I have some of the Big daddy barlow that were also SMKW editions in damascus. Smkw has had a lot of SFO Remington's made for them.

Jack - you have always been in the leading edge of Remington, Camillus and Smokey. I remember you writing about problems with Smokey and Camillus out of control on quality with Damascus knives back in 2001.

Billy, here's a picture of one of my bullet knives I told you about.

Can anyone tell me if remmington knives steel is made in the usa ,  assembled  in the usa and owned by americans?

That's a nice bullet, Robert.

Howard, The bullet series of Remington and the heritage series are still USA made. The bullet knives are produced by Bear & Son for Remington. I'm not sure who makes the Heritage series. Remington Sportsman and vintage series are imported from China. Remington is still American owned. I do have a tactical Remington that was made in Italy.

I think the older knives were made by Camillus. I love a moose pattern and with damascus real bone and sterling silver bullet that Remington is a fine knife.

Remington and Crucible Steel Company of America form Rem-Cru Titanium, Inc., a joint venture. Rem-Cru operated a plant in Midland, Pennsylvania for the purpose of melting, alloying, fabricating, and selling titanium and its alloys. Remington later transferred its 80% share of Rem-Cru to Crucible Steel in exchange for 150,000 shares of Crucible common stock.

I am not a big Remington collector but the ones I buy have real bone or wood handles. What's up with that derlin handle material, does it hold its value?

Delrin is pretty tuff material. I think if the bullet was issued in it, then it should.

Thanks Billy, I can see a Remington moose bullet in derlin in my future...lol

Camillus used Delrin on most of their knives, the real value depends on how many knives were made that year. 

Gus, which years have low numbers in the Moose payern?

Guys please post some pictures of ya'll Remington knives, deosn't have to be a bullet knife.

From 1982 to 1989, Remington made 12,000 knives each year.  Then in 1990 to 1992, the number went to 30,000 knives each year. Then from 1993 to 1999 they made 15,000 each year and from 2000 to 2007 they made only 7,500 each year. None of my listings have the word "Moose", let me know what years you are interested in.

Thanks Gus, that will be very helpful, to me and others.

I have all my Remington Bullet Knives up here, from 1982 to 2011. You have to drill down to pages 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 to see all the pictures and text.

Thanks again Gus, you must have the largest Remington collection on here. A great line of knives to collect.

This really has nothing to do with knives, but my dad got me into this hobby.

Hi guys!  I thought you may like to see my rendition of a 3 1/2 Remington Jack. The Remington is a really nice knife, great walk and talk, bone is typical great Remington.

Ken, real nice, great score. I plan on adding some knives to my Remington collection this coming year.

Here is my Christmas present to my fellow Remington Collectors. These are Remington Bullet knives from 1982-2011. Also includes anniversary knives and there are 4 Bowen Bullet knives in this roll. Enjoy and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Wow...double Wow!

Gus, Quite a collection.  I'll second the WOW!

If any of you guys and gals got a Remington knife for Chirstmas please post a picture for us. Let us all enjoy the new present.

Great looking collection, Gus.

Robert, I didn't get one for Christmas, but I'll be happy to post a picture of one of my Remington's.

Here is another one of my bullet knives This is the 1984 R1173 bullet knife.

1988 Bullet R4466

Wow Billy, I love em all. I have a lockback in bone and sterling silver thats one of my favorites. I'll try post a picture of it later.

Billy those are some nice knives.   Really nice!!

Gus, I just checked out some of your pictures from earlier this year and I am very impressed with your collection.  Do you ever show them? 

I show them to some of my knife friends who came over to my home. At my new year party, we almost got into a knife fight, it was over the price of knives. LOL

What do ya'll think of this years Bullet knives?

I haven't bought one yet. One of the members on Sharpfans said he didn't think the quality was very good, but he may have just got a bad one.

I have been shopping for a Bowen/Bullet knife of late, we'll see how it goes, I have never bought one before.

I have a 2012 Bullet knife. When the Remington CCC was formed in 2009, Bear Cutlery signed a 5 yr. contract to make their knives. I do not know how you can improve on a knife made by Bear, an American made company. I am very pleased with all my Remington knives made since 2009 by Bear.

I have 5 2012 bullet knives on order.  I am not sure of the price yet.  If anyone wants one let me know.  I'll post pictures when I get them.  Bear & Son is a fine American company!!

I think Bear Knives are great too, I was just wondering what ya'll thought of this years knives. The 30th Anniversary knives in green curly maple handles to be exact. Remington, made a great choice, when it contracted with Bear to make their knives in my opinion.
