Let's see your Scout/Camp knives

[Phil in Alabama]

Remington hired Boker's Master Cutler away to help start their knifemaking business, and he brought that design aboard with him. I can't remember his his name. Somewhere years past the article telling about it from an older publication was posted here.

I found a name, Carl Tillmans. Searching for that should turn up some better info.

Thanks, Phil! Your comments led me to @herder !!
Quote from herder, here on the forums, back in 2019;

"When Remington started up in 1919, they took Boker's top cutler/manager (Carl Tillman) and a few other good cutlers away from Boker. Remington also "borrowed" a few knife patterns that were classic Boker/Valley Forge models. So, I'm pretty certain that Boker would have wanted nothing to do with Remington after that. But who knows for sure? Business is still business..."

Nice Remingtons and Bokers everyone, and good information!

I think Boker's name for that pattern is Sportmesser. I have one with the black composition covers, a nice old knife, but Remingtons usually always have such gorgeous bone on them; both companies have built some great variants of these knives. Even the Camillus Remingtons are pretty cool.

Sportmesser it is. I guess this one is just like yours.

My first post in this thread, I am really drawn to scout/camp/cattle knives and I have accumulated quite a few older ones -many basket cases too. Some of the pics I have seen looking through this thread are amazing and stuff I have never seen before, here are a couple of mine for a start:
