Remington Trappers and their descendants.

[ccsavage]

My favorite pattern. Here’s some custom Remington descendants. I would like to be done but have a couple more makers 1306’s I’d like to collect. It all started because they seemed impossible to possess. Pictures were all I could seem to find. I no longer own the originals, they were sold to a cool guy from Louisiana who has told me he’s sending them to his friend Tony to have them rebladed.

I am a big fan of the Remington trapper and similar knives. I just managed to land my first 1123 Bullet and am just thrilled! I have been looking for one suitable to carry that had some well cared for miles under its belt and this one was perfect. Nice bone, tight with solid pull and snaps with lots of life left in the blades. The previous owner had done a very nice job keeping this one honed and even after some use and plenty of sharpening, has managed to keep this one without any secondary bevel and extremely thin at the tip of the drop point blade. A great example of a well used knife that apparently was very meaningful to its owner. I am certainly happy to carry on that tradition.

Why would it not have secondary bevels? Did they come with a zero grind? How were they sharpened at a zero grind? Just honed on a strop?

Absolutely incredible knife by the way!

By the way, knifemaker Don Southard was extremely generous enough to gift me this Remington Trapper:

However, I can find pretty much no information about this knife. Does anyone know who made it? Camillus? Are the scales bone or plastic? (They look like bone but feel like plastic)
