Yes RAN…I am talking to you. I have a goal…a personal goal…But before I tell you that goal I must show/ask you something.

Does this do anything to you?

Yes John indeed it does stir some emotion but I'm not sure its appropriate to describe the sensation happenng in my nether regions

I confess I have not always been a huge fan of bullet knives
I adore the patterns and the antique bone is as beautiful and precious to me as absolutely any other material

Silly as this may sound I find the shield throws me off just
enough...(though I am kicking myself for passing on a sweet stag 1123)

but I am warming rather quickly ..keep posting images like these you'll have a bit more compitition in the pit!

The Remington Bullet…especially this pattern, kept me awake at night when I first got around them. When you mention you weren’t “that wild about Bullets” it was like sticking a bamboo shoots up my finger.. So maybe, just maybe, I can show you some cool knives and you can at least say…Hey..I kinda like those bullets now.

Around the 1920’s…like 1922 the R-1128 (cocobolo) first appeared and the others followed in its path. I think the Remington company was cranking out somewhere like 10,000 knives a day at their peak. The Bullets where the cream of the crop…They made these knives up until 1940.

What it would be like to see mint ones of these in a hardware store..that really sounds like a cool time to live. Harley-Davidson was in it infancy and you could purchase a Thompson Sub Machine gun ..Mail Order!

14 Bullets they say…Ok here they are
I could not start my learning curve without knowing what they were, so I made a chart. I scanned, cut and pasted this together awhile back to give some idea what the heck is going on. The only knives not here are the R-1305, which is the same as the R-1306, but in bone and the R-1128, a cocobolo R-1123.
