Ok ..ring the bell
Then in 1982 Camillus produced a R-1123 Bullet for the Remington corporation for one year. This started a whole new ball rolling. A ball was rolling, but for many of us it was not the same ball. They were nice knives but the bone was not bone…and the steel was not carbon and very soft, and they defiantly did not have the same walk and talk. I believe the EPA put the smackdown on the dying process of “killer” Bone…and that's why today it’s hard to get that phenomenal color of the old bone…so they choose to put “plastic” on as scales. Oh the shame!
Enough about the knife….Something else came out in 1982 that hit home for me…more than the knife. An artist, L.W. Duke, painted a painting called “Bad time for a Snag”, a sales promo for the knife. What a great scene and made me feel as though I had to have a R-1123.
Nine posters in all, one each year, with different Bullets depicting how a Bullet can save your life…Great Stuff!!! Hope you like this one as much as I do. Am I getting anywhere here?
A book by Mel Brewster, “Remington Bullet Knives” is my source. It’s a nice little book that shows all the knives and posters.
