Remington began manufacturing guns in 1816 but would not enter the pocket knife market for another 100 years! After manufacturing bayonets for WWI, Remington took advantage of this existing infrastructure and began to make pocket knives by 1920. Most early Remington pocket knives feature UMC inside the circle stamp. This resulted from the merger of Remington Arms Co and the Union Metallic Cartridge Co.

These knives were made in Bridgeport, CT and quickly became a powerhouse in the pocket knife world. By 1922 their catalog boasted 200+ pages and more than 700 patterns. In addition to traditional pocket knives, they made knives for the Boy and Girls Scouts as well as a line of leather washer hunting knives.
Some of the Most sought after Remington pocket knives are the “Bullet” knives. They featured a nickel silver bullet shield and jigged bone, genuine stag and handles. During the Great Depression, the DuPont Company purchased a majority stake in Remington in 1933. Eventually, the company was sold to Pal Cutlery Co around 1940. Pro tip – the last digit of pattern number denotes the handle material (ex. 3 = bone, 4 = pearl, 6 = stag, etc.)
