"Old Knives"

[black mamba]

This is a 5 3/8" Remington Bullet "bananna" R1253.

Very pretty, Kerry! But what's up with the "step" in the bone right next to the front bolster?
It does match on both sides, so they must have chosen this instead of a smooth taper to the bolster. Was this common?

Nahhhh...I'm for leaving them they way they aged. Plus, I don't have time for such things. I'd rather spend the time posting up things that gets folks all stirred up. ARRRRRRRR!


How bout another, but this one is more honest looking. This is a 5 3/8" Remington Bullet "bananna" R1253.

That old Remington bone is incredible!

I seem to recall seeing a post by Bernard Levine where he said that Remington did the bone like that.

I don't know on this particular pattern, but Remington did this "stepped" bone a lot on its old muskrat patterns

I think it was common. Check out the muskrat.

3 1/2" R1353 dogleg jack and 3 15/16" R4593 muskrat

That's a nice pair of Remingtons, expecially the Muskrat!

Nice Remingtons Kerry.

My first post here, but I have enjoyed this subforum for the past few weeks and all the incredible knives posted. I bought these at an antique show recently (both were inexpensive) and I like their character. I have always loved old knives and that interest (or illness) is re-ignited.

Knice Remingtons Kerry. Blades are spot on to the backsprings.

Here's an older Case XX 62009½ Barlow Manufactured between 1940 - 1964 that I picked up not long ago. The handles are red, rough cut, bone. It doesn't appear to have ever been used. There are a couple/three very minor, pinhead, age, spots on the clip blade but other than that it's in great shape.

Note that the clip master blade of this particular Case Barlow is in the back and the pen blade is in the front which was not a rare occurence for the Case XX or Case XX USA era but was not common either. Further, note that the nail nick of the clip master blade has been put forward on the blade so as to clear the pen blade for opening.

Right at 4"....it was a flea market find, very inexpensive. After cleaning out what looked like 20 years of lint from it and a little oiling, she was ready for anything.

This is my first addition to this thread. It's nowhere near as old as most of the beauties here, but it is three years older than yours truly. I have a few knives that are older than this, but this is my first vintage Case. It is a 1971 (9 dot) Daddy Barlow. I just ordered it, but these pictures are better than any I would be able to take myself. At some point I'll have to get all of my other oldies together and get pictures.

I can't wait for this guy to show up! I've been wanting an older Case for a long time, I just haven't been able to find one I really liked at a reasonable price.
