Historical Note

Remington’s Bullet Knife patterns trace their lineage to the company’s early cutlery production of the 1920s and 1930s. The Apprentice series was introduced as a limited-edition homage to those formative years, offering collectors a knife that echoed traditional forms while benefiting from modern manufacturing precision. The R295T, released in 2002, reflects that balance of nostalgia and quality.
