This Remington R4243 Camp Bullet Knife is a standout example of modern-era American tradition—combining classic utility with collector-grade presentation.

Historical Note

The Remington name carries deep roots in American manufacturing, dating back to 1816. While the original Remington cutlery operations ceased in the mid-20th century, later licensed reproductions—like this R4243—were produced to honor those early designs.

Camp knives such as this trace their lineage to military and scouting tools of the early 1900s, built to serve multiple functions in the field. The “bullet knife” styling pays tribute to Remington’s iconic branding, blending firearms heritage with traditional pocketknife craftsmanship.

Collector’s Note

Complete examples like this—unused, with original box and paperwork—are becoming harder to find. This knife checks all the right boxes: condition, presentation, and a highly recognizable pattern.

Ideal for the Remington collector or anyone building a lineup of classic American utility knives.
