This is a beautiful 2010 Remington Bullet Knife, R-2253 code name Double Strike. This year’s Bullet knife is a new pattern in the Bullet knife family. However, it is a very old European pattern called a Copperhead which has the same features as the popular trapper pattern. This year’s Bullet knife will prove to be highly collectable due to the unique pattern as well as new bone. The blades of the R-2253 consist of 440 high carbon stainless steel. The Clip blade is the main blade and measures 2 1/2 inches with a long nail pull and the traditional Remington trademark etch on the blade. The back of the tang has a pattern number stamped while the front of the tang has the traditional Remington UMC Made in the USA stamp. The secondary blade is a spey blade that measures 2 3/8 inches and has a long nail pull. Both blades are tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-59. The liners are made of quality brass and nickel silver bolsters. The handles bear a new jig pattern called “Tree Bark” and are dyed a rich mahogany for a classic look. This knife is manufactured and assembled by shilled American craftsman in the USA.
