Club History/Background
Since the first Remington knife, produced in 1920, there have
been dedicated followers of the Remington Brand. We now want
to recognize and reward the followers of Remington Arms
Company by creating our very own club!
Once you have joined the club you will receive a membership which will include your membership card, club offerings and our "Remington Past and Present" Booklet.
With the introduction of our club we will be offering 3 different knives.
New Member Knife, Senator Pattern RC6163 –
The inaugural RCCC New Member knife is a Senator pattern with 2 440 Stainless Steel blades. The handle is a green smooth bone with the RCCC shield inlayed in the front side. Since Green is our signature color it was only fitting that we began the club with "Big Green" in mind. As a side note, the creation of our made in the USA knife line, the Heritage Series, we also used the signature green handle. You will find that when we create a new knife line in our made in the USA product category we most always kick it off with the color green. It's our good luck charm.The main blade is a 2 11/16" Spey blade with the RCCC blade etch. The front tang stamp on the main blade is the last tang stamp to be used on the final production knives that left the manufacturing facility in Bridgeport, CT before it sold off all their cutlery assets and closed their doors. The back tang stamp is RC6163 pattern number and date code of production. The secondary blade is a 2 3/16" Pen blade. Both blades have long pull.
Your New Member knife will have the two digit month and two digit year engraved on the bolster of the year you became a member of the club.
Each knife is shipped in a two piece box that is a re-creation of an old box pattern. We made a few altercations to incorporate the RCCC logo on the box. As well, we have a space on the left end for the production/packaging personal to hand write the pattern number.
Junior Member Knife, Barlow Pattern RBC41 -
Least but not forgotten is our Junior Member knife. When deciding which pattern to pick for the new member knife for our youngsters we knew we wanted a single blade with a mid-stop open and close feature. We also wanted to be sure that the pattern was a classic from the Remington archives so it didn't take long to come to the conclusion that the 3 ½" Barlow was the perfect pattern.The handle is a green saw cut bone with the RCCC shield inlay. The single 440 Stainless Steel Clip blade has a long pull and the RCCC blade etch. The front tang stamp on the main blade is the last tang stamp to be used on the final production knives that left the manufacturing facility in Bridgeport, CT before it sold off all their cutlery assets and closed their doors. The back tang stamp is RBC41 pattern number and date code of production. (the "B" denotes the Barlow pattern. This was done on all Barlow pattern knives in the early Remington manufacturing days.)
As with the standard New Member knife, your Jr. New Member knife will have the two digit month and two digit year engraved on the bolster of the year you became a member of the club.
Each knife is shipped in a two piece box that is a re-creation of an old box pattern. We made a few altercations to incorporate the RCCC logo on the box. As well, we have a space on the left end for the production/packaging personal to hand write the pattern number.
RCCC "Knife of the Year", Jack Knife RC103 –
The first knife ever built in the Remington Cutlery manufacturing facility in Bridgeport, Connecticut in February of 1920 was the R103. This jack knife pattern would go on to be made in many various versions but on the same template.
For this reason, RCCC decided the Inaugural "Knife of the Year" would be none other then the R103. For the Club exclusive purpose we have added the "C" next to the "R" on all pattern numbers created in the RCCC knife line. The "C" indicates the knife is a Club exclusive and carries the RCCC shield in the handle.
The "Knife of the Year" will be changed out year after year. The year denoted on the "Knife of the Year" will also change. Each year's "Knife of the Year" will be of the highest quality from USA factories.
Each "Knife of the Year" ships in a wooden RCCC box and comes with a MoistureGuard™ infused cloth sheath that nests inside the wooden box. Remington is well known for it's chemical product line with the time proven Rem® Oil as the foundation for the product line.

2009 Featured Knives –
The Boy Scouts of America Knife (RS3333) was produced from 1923 - 1940.
Today, we still painstakingly craft this authentic re-creation with 115 separate hand operations. Master blade is etched with the original Boy Scouts of America "Be Prepared" markings and the tang is stamped with the same design last used in 1940.
Our Bullet Knives are sought after by collectors everywhere, and now can celebrate the strong connection between Remington Cutlery and our firearms heritage. The saw cut bone handle is inlayed with the profile of the Remington 30 caliber cartridge.
