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.
This is the Remington RB1242 Daddy Barlow with 2 blades made of 440 high carbon stainless The large blade is a 4 inch clip blade with long nail pull and a 2 ½ inch pen blade with long nail pull. The knife closed is 5 inches. The handle material Amber saw cut bone with bullet shield. The distinctive large bolster that the Barlow pattern is known for has the Remington logo stamp. Like all quality Remington products, this knife is manufactured and assembled right here in the USA.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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