Remington Silver Bullets for 2021 and 2024?

[Happy Hippo]

Sorry if this has been addressed before. Were there Remington silver bullet knives for 2021 and 2024? I have and only can find the non-silver versions.

2021's Remington Silver Bullet knife was the GEC-made "Prospector" Baby Bullet Trapper, shown here:

2024's will, maybe (if there is one, most likely be released in 2025 as 2023's Harvester pattern was released in 2024. Someone needs to practice their knife scheduling!!!

Since we've brought up 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025 so far - we shouldn't neglect, IMO, the pick of recent memory's litter - 2022's Granddaddy Barlow:

These are the only ones that I have and I do not know for sure what year they were made . I think the Daddy Barlow was from 2022 and the Hawkbill in 2023 or 2024 .

Notice the " Sterling " on the Bullets .
Both knives are very well made IMHO . Very glad that I have them .

I have that one. But "Sterling" is not on the bullet, so I didn't consider it a silver bullet. Was there only one bullet knife made in 2021?

Good point about the lack of "Sterling" shield stamp. AFAIK, there was only the one produced for 2021. The contractor heralded it as "The Return of The Remington Bullet Knife." Since then, I believe GEC has produced the "Silver Bullet" versions with Bear & Son (unconfirmed but highly likely) producing the standard "Bullet" versions.

Below is a picture of the inserts included with the 2021 knife which clearly show it branded as a "Bullet" knife and not a "Silver Bullet" knife:

Before 2021, in the 2018-2020 time frame, Buck produced all the bullet and silver bullet knives - 6 in total. Perhaps when Buck exited the licensing agreement, there was a scramble to see who would cover 2021. SMKW contracted GEC, I believe, and everyone probably thought is was an accomplishment that there was even one bullet knife for that year. Since I am not an expert on bullet knives, i wanted to confirm with the community that there was indeed only one in 2021. I have two in 2022 and two in 2023 but it looks like 2024 will have just one, or the release is late because, of course, the 2025 is already out.

I have a few of the older Camillus-made Remingtons, with the 1994 "Silver Bullet" Camp Knife taking pride of place. I passed on the 2023 Silver Bullet Pruner (released in 2024) because I don't like sharpening recurved blades. I also have the 2022 Bear and Son Barlow but it came with FnF issues that turned me off enough to no longer seriously consider them. If GEC keeps making non-recurved Remington knives, I imagine I'll keep buying them.
