The R1855 & R1853 Remington Equal End Jack are vintage pocketknive with carbon steel blades and a yellow handle made of plastic on one and bone handles on the other. They feature a manual opening mechanism, a slipjoint lock type, and two original blades. These collectible folding knives were produced by Remington in the United States, making them a unique and desirable piece for collectors of vintage knives. Left to right.
1. R1855 The main blade is stamped REMINGTON in the circle and MADE IN U.S.A. on the outside. The small blade has Remington with a line under it, inside the circle. The main blade has fair snap opening and none closing. The pen blade has no snap. Both blades do have some blade play. Back side center pin has a crack coming off it.
2. R1853 The main blade is stamped REMINGTON in the circle and MADE IN U.S.A. on the outside. The small blade has Remington with a line under it, inside the circle. Decent snap both ways on the main blade with a little blade play. The small blade also has decent snap but no blade play. The front handle has a ugly old repair on it that I took a closeup of. No cracks in the back handle.
