Description

We offer for your consideration this WWII era Hunting/Fighting knife.
This knife came to us in an estate sale, the former owner was a sportsman, and avid collector of guns, and edged weapons. See our other listings.
This is a PAL RH36, The Grandfather of all U.S. Military fighting knives.
These were manufactured by PAL.
The PAL company acquired the design from Remington.
Remington produced this knives with this blade pattern and called it the Remington Hunter Model 36. Which became the RH PAL 36.
These knives, along the Camillus hunting knives were snatched up by the U.S. Military at the beginning of the second world war, eventually the U.S. Government contracted these companies to be the providers for the U. S. Military.
This knife has a bright finished blade, making an early model
(1941)
, later models had Parkerized blades.
If you are a collector you already know about this historical knife.
This knife is in good overall condition and features a hardwood handle
(possibly Rosewood)
The edge shows signs of sharpening, and is very sharp. There is some signs of oxidation on the guard on the side of the stamped ricasso. The blade is clearly stamped "RH PAL 36" over Made in USA under the PAL oval. (see pictures)
This knife comes with a leather sheath. This sheath has a tooled round badge with a stags head in it. It may not be original to the knife, I have been unable to connect the stag logo to PAL products of the time period.
If you are a collector of classic WWII era edged weapons, this PAL knife will be an awesome addition to your collection.
