Modern Remington folders

[Astrogator]

Hello All,

I found a new Remington "Insignia Edition" Mod.19320 stockman recently.

The knife is 4 inches long when closed.

Although the knife is a "made in China" item, it is well built and finished.

The scales are some sort of dark wood.

Despite the "inferior" (440a stainless) steel blades, the knife cuts very well.

I just thought that I would show this.

Nice knife. Should make an excellent EDC.

I don't have an imported Remington but have many Rough Riders and enjoy them they are great knives with a great price point. It sounds like your knife is similar in F&F and quality of my RR knives so as afishhunter said it should be a fine every day knife. As for the 440a I don't consider it an inferior steel it sharpens easily and holds and edge fairly well and you will be surprised at how tough it is. Some of the new "super steels" are very hard but also brittle and will chip long before that 440a. Congrats on what seems a great knife. :thumbup:

I have that stockman and a couple new Remington "barlow style" linerlocks and fine all of them to be quite well made, hold a good edge.

Here's a Chinese Remington (Sportsman Series) I bought recently, pictured here with a German Army Knife. I too have a number of Rough Rider's which I'm more than happy with, but I chose this over the RR camp/scout knife because I prefer the design of the tin opener. A robust, good quality knife. :thumbup:

The Marbles Workman is a great camp knife also; same type of can opener plus a small phillips.

Who holds the license now to make the Remington branded knives? Colonial? SMKW? Frost? Taylor? Someone else?

I don't know, the dealer I usually buy from has some labeled as made in USA, others made in China.

Here is a group of import Remington abalone handled folders I bought about 8 years ago, nice quality.
They appear to me to be rebranded Rough Riders.

I have a couple of Remingtons with a shield reading "Sportsman Series" and a blade etch proclaiming "Insignia Edition", both in some kind of burl wood that I find quite mesmerizing. Mine are a canoe and a peanut, and I'm very pleased with them. :thumbup::thumbup:

Blake I have a RR Scout knife but like yours better. The problem with it is that it's an extreme nail bitter. Heck I think it would not only break a finger nail on opening but would break a railroad spike. I think I'm going to order a Remington tonight.

The last I heard, the US ones were made by Bear and Son.

Speaking of which, here's one that Bear and Son made. This is a Bear & Son Remington 700 Series R-151. It's a nice little lockback in what is supposed to be 440A at a hardness of 58. I've not tested it for edge retention, but it's a well put together knife. A friend of mine gave it to me.
