Gec built 2022 Remington Bullet knife

It is beautiful knife and I would like to get one but I would have to keep it with some other Grandaddy Barlows and it would look a little Small .
And I have a Remington Grandaddy gifted to me by a good friend named Johnnytwoshoes in 2017 . I could have gotten one but decided to save the $200 for later . Congrats to all who get one . They will be a GREAT KNIFE . Carry them in good health my friends .

Knowing that I'm out for the run of 25s, a coupon, and forgetting the balance I had in my PP account all kicked my FOMO into drive and I bit.
I do love a 97, so I expect this to be a winner for me, even if the price isn't.
125 left at around 6:30 PM EST.

I think the sterling silver shield is really nice and very traditional for Remington knives.

I wonder if the sterling silver shield limited the number they produced?

Looking forward to this one!

I was told by a reliable source they made 1k knives.
 
Glad to hear about free shipping because I’ve had nothing but good experiences with SMKW. Not sure where I saw shipping being taxed. I’m sorry if I perpetuated a rumor.

Not sure why anybody would think its small....Its only a tiny bit smaller than the Remington 1630 Navigator made by Camillus in 2000....

As compared to the Original Grandaddy Barlows , it is about 1/2 " Shorter . You are correct in that it is STILL not a small knife .
Your 2 that you are showing are pretty nice my friend . I like that they have the Remington on the Bolsters .

May not be worth mentioning, but the box looks pretty neat too. The trapper, while gorgeous and well made, came with a rather boring box in comparison to this:

At 4.7" closed, it edges out my next longest knife in the 65 pattern (4.5"). I figure when it isn't being used to stick bears, it might cut through an envelope or two.

edit: pure speculation - 2022 being the 40th anniversary for Remington might be why the tang stamp ended up being '22 despite B+S already having a 2022 model out?

I agree. Sticking a bear with that knife will probably just make it angry and hasten your demise.

Hopefully it has a harder pull than the similarly sized 97, really weak.
Maybe GEC remedied that issue seeing as there were plenty of gripes about it.

I read a comment elsewhere from Randy at the factory who said the Remingtons do not have the light pull issues the 97 had. He said they are as they should be. He mentioned that the 97 light pull issue was due to a heat-treat issue. He thinks we’ll be happier with the pull.
