Carryin' thread Graeff Schmidt & Son's Jack knife in smooth bone that I rescued. Always wish I woulda took a pic of it before I saved it. A pic of it covered in latex paint so bad you couldn't see the blades let alone open it. When I finally got it open it looked like the original owner used the large spear blade to lever open the paint cans takin' 3 large scallop like chips outta the main blade. After hours of cleaning and restoration work I found the chunk taken outta the scale on the mark side but the knife came out very knice otherwise, took a keen edge after reprofiling the blade and still had the original walk and talk. Even after years of abuse and neglect this knife came back from the dead. I like to throw it in my pocket occasionally, it's certainly people friendly and makes a great worry stone, enjoy. :)

Buzz, I believe that you may be correct and I am looking to see where I got the 440C information.

Well, I went to my notes and they were not helpful. At a couple of places, I had written 440C, but without attribution of the source of that information. It may have been simple lazy assumption on my part. The certificates of authenticity that come with the knives state that the blades are of "440 steel" without distinction. I did some research and found a BF thread from May 2007 in the Camillus subforum that addresses the steel used in the entire line of Remington replicas, including the 1980-1990 period with Camillus. The discussion is not exhaustive (though it is exhausting) nor conclusive. However, one of the participants, Phil Gibbs (who appears to have worked at Camillus during some of the period in question), says that: "It was 440B (82 - 88 Bullets?), then 440A (89 - 96?) and finaly 420 when the 440 was no longer available in coil. I am guessing at the dates though!"
It appears that, under Phil Gibbs remembrance, the blades on most of my Bullet replicas are 440B (similar to AUS-8). However, since I don't have a definitive identification of the steel used, I will follow the COA and use "440 steel" and have edited my prior postings to follow. @Buzzbait, thanks for raising the question for clarification. This is another example of why I enjoy and benefit from participating in this thread. The belated research that I pursued has been enlightening on more matters than just blade steel, and entertaining. BTW, here's the 2007 thread: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/camillus-made-remington-repros-steel-type.474366

Cool and unusual blade combo on your Woodsman, Stuart! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: Is that classified as a moose pattern?
Click to expand...
It seems to depend on the maker, GT. In Case brand land, the moose and muskrat are serpentine double end knives - the moose has clip and spey, the muskrat has two slender (muskrat) clip blades. The Remington replicas are more of the equal end or cigar pattern, like cattle knives. The Muskrat, with a slender clip and spey, would be more likely a moose in Case land. The Woodsman, with a slender clip and spear-like spey, would also be a moose in Case land. I can't guess at the logic of the Remington/Camillus naming of these knives.

I like your SAK selections, especially the Electrician (which is my go-to cigar trimmer).

I woke up this morning officially retired! :D Yesterday was my last day at work. My wife took me out for a celebratory meal last night. This morning I am Totin two Cases. The 6347 is a knife that I bought soon after I started to work in the summer of ‘73. The Norfolk is one of my latest acquisitions that I got just before my retirement. By the way all those years were with the same company. :) I’m looking forward to showing y’all the Norfolk after 45 years of use! ;):eek:

Great stuff Ron! You richly deserve a decent retirement, Norfolk is a looker with those all sunk-joints too:cool: I find the pull on mine pretty tough but that's no bad thing in my book.

Thanks, Will

That's pretty cool. One at the start of your journey, and one to mark the end. Two special knives. Congrats on your retirement.
