Bullet.....What?

So that is what all the fuss has been about? You think a bullet knife is supposed to be a trapper?

O.B.

He isn't smart but yes, he thinks all Remington Knives should be trappers. All buck Remingtons are not real Remingtons. He acts like it was Bucks decision. What a m___n.



The knife Buck uses to put Remingtons name one is a great knife.

What a great knife

I think Remington stopped making knives about 1933.... that equates to 85 years of collaborations since. Some Remington knives were Camillus patterns for awhile .... time moves on and Buck is the new kid on the block so why can't Buck use some of its patterns now?

That bullet knife there is a really nice looking knife.
I'm not a fan of trappers so this would be my kind of knife, if I had some sort of particular interest in Remington I might want one.

No, I'm saying that the knife shown in the link is an old pattern that was used for one of the Remington Bullet knives back in the 1980s.

I thought a Buck knife like that meant that Buck had the tooling, but as it turns out--Camillus made the knife for Buck.

They can--and did. But I suspect they'll learn that tradition is strong among collectors and messing with it is shaky ground.

That will disappoint Remington collectors who would like to see the traditional Bullet Knife patterns that Remington put out in the 1980s........but Buck doesn't have the tooling. Somebody else bought it.

Clearly, taking an existing Buck knife pattern and slapping a bullet on the side and calling it a "Bullet Knife" is a break with tradition.

Those who like them are welcome to buy them.

Some will, some won't.

So it goes. New traditions with the younger set may be starting.
 
I wonder if the Remington collectors were moaning and groaning in the 80's over the lack of tradition in Camillus made knives.... :)

Didn't "Dupont" take over Remington knives and then had their subsidiary 'Pal" continue with the production of the patterns. It's why on most "Pal" knives have "RH" for a model # the "RH" stands for "Remington Hunter". So "Dupont" owns the patterns/tooling for the knives, don't they?

Could be, although I never heard of any such moaning and groaning.

The 80s phase, with all the posters and publicity, seemed to make Remington collectors quite happy.

Dupont made the knives from 1933 to 1940 using Remingtons tooling...
Dupont sold the equipment to the PAL company who assembled knives from remaining parts and scrapped the equipment in 1950. I do not know the relationship between Remington, Dupont, and PAL.

Those old Bullets got to be so expensive that the collector base sort of fizzled out.

The 80s Bullets and their set of Remington art posters really took off because everything was affordable and high quality.
 
The Camillus Remingtons in the 80s had variable quality. Some had systematic flaws such as cracks in covers around lanyard hole. Most were produced in such large quantities, the prices have dropped over the years for NIB. At shows in my area the price of some delrin patterns have dropped from >$100 to $50. There was a Voyles article recently in Knife magazine about them.

DuPont owned Remington Arms for many years, but Remington still operated as an arms company while DuPont operated as a chemical company. DuPont didn't make arms, but left that to Remington. Now, how the knife operation worked at Remington (and later at Pal) I don't know. OH

Camillus generally made great knives.......and these were especially good looking.

I'll still loot every one of these I can find from the Bay at the right price.

Posters, too!
:D
