Remington R106 75th Anniversary jack knife

[Morrow]

I picked this one up on the bay recently for a song. It's a Remington 2 blade jack with a stag handle. These originally came in a display box with a blade pick. Mine came with neither...just the knife. My only negatives with this knife are both blades are off center when closed. Everything else with this knife is quite nice. Pull on the main blade is about a 6 and the pen blade about a 7 both with pronounced half stops. The spear point has a wide swedge but only on one side.

The stag is okay on both sides....I would say average. I can't tell if the shield is pinned or not. I also have no idea as what steel the blades are and can find any reference. This knife is a fat boy due to the thick stag scales. Length close is 3 1/2'' closed with an OAL of 6 1/4''.

Wow! That is some fat stag! Good find! Congrats!

I like the background, too!

Here's a '99 model R-103 from the Delrin Series. I used to consider these as give/throw away knives but compared to what is out there today, I am beginning to appreciate them. The blades fall to one side too in this one.

Great knives fellas. These are pretty well made knives by Camillus as I recall. :thumbup:

I have a Barlow I think around here somewhere. Ill see if I can hunt it down to show a pic.

Morrowj, that's 440C steel on that one, nice looking knife! Here's one that came out around the same time, but I know nothing about the details. It's serialized on the master above the tang:
