Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

I found this knife. I was looking for someone to let me know price or year on this knife. It is a automatic and I was wondering if you can legally sell these or what. thanks Chris

Glad to help, Chris !- I was beginning to think that you had fallen in a well somewhere and Lassie wasn't there to run for help!!  Sorry, that is a very old TV reference, and if you are younger than me, you might not understand.Unfortunately, dang near everyone  is younger than me now (Sigh) Lassie was a collie who always knew the right thing to do, and saved the day in every episode, I actually talked to one of my employees the other day who didn't know who the Beatles were !! It sucks to get old !! LOL

Just so no one misses seeing this reply I made on your other discussion. I'll repost here-

Chris,

The short answer  answer is, that's a good question !! Your knife is a R8065 double switchblade with pyremite (celluloid) handles-The 5 in the model number tell us that.The straight line Remington stamp was put on their lower end line of knives, while the circle stamp was reserved for their higher end line. As to the vintage, Remington kept better general vintage records of their circle stamps than they did the straight line, so I would not even hazard a guess.As to price,We are all over the board on that, as well. Jim Sargent's 1999 edition of " American Premium Guide To Knives And Razors" shows it on page 421 with a 3 1/2 inch closed length for $550 dollars in excellent condition. But, I did a little web crawling.and found them for $20 and $79 in rougher condition. Due to the legality restrictions on interstate commerce and the varying laws from state to state on ownership, it is hard to get any type of fix on an accurate worth. Hopefully, some of my more learned collegues here, can give you some more definitive answers.
