can any of you guys tell me anything about this 2 doller yard sale knife?

Perhaps Selstickbow can tell you? What say you Steve?

That’s a Remington Hunter, pattern 36 made by PAL cutlery between 1940; when they purchased the cutlery division from Remington, and 1950 when they ceased production. Nice knives with excellent steel. Lance

that's what I was going to say Lance. NOT. Looked like a KA-BAR to me. I've no clue, but thanks RH for the vote of confidence haha. good looking knife !! Steve

Nice find!

toten i have a Pal knife,mine is a 35.I think they were made in WW 11 from a company somewhere in New York.

Nice Find Dave. That looks to be in really nice shape too. They make great hunting knives too.

Nice, very similar to a Marbles I'd say.

Lance is da man for fnife information

Pal was a break off from the awe family. They bought a lot of the rights to Remington patterns. They are excellent knives and hood an edge very well. You stole it for 2 bucks !

According to the College Hill Arsenal auction site in Nashville, TN.

The PAL Blade Company of Plattsburgh, NY was established in 1935 as a cutlery company, specializing in kitchen implements. The company was a merger of the Utica Knife & Razor Company of Utica, NY and the Pal Blade Company of Chicago, IL. Pal would use both the “Blade Company” and “Cutlery Company” monikers interchangeably during the next two decades. The company also purchased the cutlery division of Remington in 1941, along with all of their machinery, tooling and designs. Soon Pal began production in the old Remington owned factory in Holyoke, MA. The classic PAL blade marks of RH 35, RH36, etc. refer to the Remington heritage of that pattern, as the designations meant “Remington, Hunting, Pattern 3, 5” (or 6”) blade”. During World War II the PAL Blade Company produced hundreds of thousands of edged weapons for the US war effort, including USN Mark 1 and Mark 2 knives, M3 Trench Knives, TL-29 pocket knives, a variety of bayonets including the M1 and M4, as well as a limited number of USMC 1219C2 combat knives. The Pal Blade Company went out of business in 1953, and the assets of the company were acquired by American Safety Razor company.

I had one as a kid and like a dumb kid, broke it in half throwing it into hard wood.

Interesting indeed!!!

GGS - thanks for the "according to" article. "The classic PAL blade marks of RH 35, RH36, etc. refer to the Remington heritage of that pattern, as the designations meant “Remington, Hunting, Pattern 3, 5” (or 6”) blade”. "

GREAT LOOKING KNIFE! Hope that a sheath was handy??

Steve, I thought this was similar to the knife you are looking for.

Always interesting learning about knife history.

That's a nice PAL RH36, the most famous war PAL! The sheaths, for a all PAL knives, were crap. Very flimsy, but the knives served well in WWII. The steel they used is similar to O1 or 1095HC. Here's my RH50.

Joe

Well i can get in on showing off one of them!

RICK, yeh it is very similar to the one(s) I was looking for....like an evil twin to it. I did not know of the PAL- Remington connection. It's a good day when you can learn something.
