Has anyone received the new Remington 2011, Model R1123L I am having a hard time trying to close the Spey blade with my bare hands. The only way I can close it is to cover the knife with a soft cloth and using vise grips, I press down on the back spring and the blade will then close. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

This is the 1992 Remington Bullet Knife The Guide, R1253. The blade is a long clip, 4 ½ inches long and jigged Delrin handles. It is banana shape, double nickel silver bolsters, lined pin end. This knife was made by Camillus and sold by Remington. The steel blades are made of 440 stainless. Some accounts identify this knife as Al Capone’s favorite.

This is the Remington Baby Bullet Knife poster 1983, the second in this series. This poster is 19 inches by 24 ½ inches and everyone I have seen has been folded up at one time. The artist is L. W. Duke and it features the Remington R1173 Baby Bullet. Again, I wish I had purchased more of these when they were available back in the early 80’s. I mailed one of these posters to my dad in 1984 when he was living, when he died in 2000, we cleaned out his house, but there was no sign of this poster.

This is the 1982 Remington Brings Back the Bullet Knife poster. It is 19 ½ inches by 24 ½ inches and the artist is L.W. Duke. I found this in a gun store; it was hanging on a wall, held up by four staples, one in each corner. It features the Remington Trapper R1923. I kick myself almost everyday for not buying more of these when I had the opportunity back in the early 80’s.

I joined the Remington Cutlery Collector's Club on Saturday, August 6, 2011, along with my 9 year old grandson. I mailed the application to the Remington Arms Co in Madison, NC.

The knife collector group is a separate group from the arms group. Check out www.remingtoncutlery.com. 2009 was the first year for this club. The Arms club sounds like a good club to be in. I don't own any Remington guns.

I will try to look in my Remington collectors club literature and see if there's anything about when the move was made.

Nice knives, Gus. I have bought a few Bullet knives on ebay. I will get some pics posted soon. I still have about 10 years of issue to find and buy. Here is what I have found out about the reproduction knives of the Bullet series with the red and yellow delrin handles. They were made as a limited series in 2004 to commemorate Remington's move to Madison, NC. They are USA built, but I haven't found out who actually built them for Remington.

My 1995 Remington Bullet Knife, Master Guide R1279, on the box it says Remington Arms Company, Wilmington, DE 19898.  On my 1996 Remington Bullet Knife, Trail Hand R3843, there is nothing on the box or on the papers that gives a company location. On my 1997 Remington Bullet Knife, Lumber Jack, R4468, on the box it says Remington Arms Company, Madison, NC 27025-0700.

I think in 1995 that Remington Arms was in Delaware and started moving in 1996. Then in 1997 Remington Arms started using the Madison, NC address. Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.

This is a rare Bowen 126S Bullet Hunter with a 4-inch blade. It has real Stag handles with brass pins and a light brown sheath. The knife is 8 inches over all. The blade is made of 440C and is NOT tapered, making for a heavy knife. The finger guard is made of nickel silver. On one side of the blade, it is marked “A Bowen Knife, Atlanta, U.S.A” and on the tang it is marked “Bowen U.S.A.” On the reverse side of the tang it is marked 1092. I’m not sure, but I think these are serial numbers.
