History

Remington’s limited-edition knife programs of the late 1990s and early 2000s were designed to celebrate the brand’s deep ties to American industry, exploration, and sporting culture. The Mariner series reflects this ethos, pairing nautical-inspired design cues with Remington’s long-standing bullet-knife tradition — a pattern that traces its lineage back to early 20th-century gentleman’s folders.

Collector’s Note

This is an excellent choice for collectors seeking a display-worthy Remington bullet knife with strong visual appeal and light handling only. Limited-edition Remingtons from this era continue to gain appreciation as complete, well-preserved examples become harder to find.
