Remington Prospector 2021 Baby Bullet Discussion and Picture Thread

It's a little smaller than the original which is very cool in my book. I'm half tempted to buy one to take apart and pattern for customs. It's an iconic and very capable user pattern.

Smaller version of what?....Its bigger than a real 1173 and smaller than the 1123 from what I see.....

Smaller than the original. R1123. Is that better?

Seems to be some confusion here....the 1173 is the original 3 1/2" Remington pattern made in the 1920s, the 4 1/2" 1123 is a larger knife made on a similar frame during the same time period and I think the first in the original Bullet series....the Prospector has nothing to do with either one.......

The confusion is with you. Your playing internet semantics. I am simply referring to this particular GEC pattern itself which is derived from the 1123 and the 1173 patterns, both originals but obviously when I say "smaller" I'm referring to the bigger one. Nice work policing me though. Talk to Spark so you can get your medal for the day.

Jason, from the 1935 catalog. Notice the woodcut, I’ve never seen an original that had the nicks on the same side. The R1123 was introduced in 1920 but didn’t make the catalog until 1921.

I don't know diddly about the historic talking points on the new GEC/Remington..... But, it is a wonderful pattern, expertly manufactured and in significant quantities that everyone can get one without blowing an artery.....

Attached is a photo of a Gunstock, Reverse Gunstock and a Bullet..... Gotta love 'em!

Can't quite make it out from the pictures posted but do these knives have a Squared End Flush Tang meaning that the Blade, Spring, and Bolsters are all lined up square?
