I just bought a Remington Barlow style folding knife off e-bay. The fit and finish of this little knife is great. It has saw cut green and yellow derlin handles. The paper in the box says Remington knives are made from high carbon steel or 440 stainless steel.

Does anyone know which steel was used in this knife? I am hoping the blades are carbon steel. The marks on the blade are "Made in the USA" and "Remington" in a circle.

Thanks!
 
I think that knifeaholic is correct. I am pretty sure the blade is carbon steel. Is there a model number on the box? If it is a model 841 then it definitely does have a carbon steel blade.
 
No model number on the box. The box says Remington-UMC, Traditions, Barlow Series and features a picture of an old man and boy carving duck decoys. It really is a nice gift box. Did Remington actually make the knife or did they get another company to make it for them?
 
If you have any cold blueing solution, apply it to an inconspicuous spot. If it colors, you have regular tool steel, if not, you have stain resistant steel.
All steel used in cutlery, SS, or not, is high carbon, although listing it simply as 440 is not a good sign. I would guess that if SS, it is 440A. If it was 440C, they would have been proud to list it as such. :eek:
 
Remington knives are all produced by Camillus. The steel
is usually 440a and does an OK job. I'd venture to say that
they are not some of Camillus best. They, to me , are about
what Camillus sells as average pocket knives.
