Description

PAL RH-36 WWII Knife w/ Sheath – Leather Handle, USA Made

Original WWII-era PAL RH-36 fighting knife, made in the U.S.A. and paired with its period leather sheath. This combat knife features a stacked leather washer handle, red and black fiber spacers, steel guard, and aluminum pommel. The ricasso is stamped “RH PAL 36 / Made in U.S.A.”

The included leather sheath, showing wear from age and use, is engraved with the name “Mar”, possibly denoting the original owner. While the knife bears clear signs of service, it retains strong historical value and appeal to collectors of military memorabilia.

An iconic American field knife carried by U.S. troops during WWII.

Condition:
In fair condition with moderate wear. Blade has surface oxidation and patina from use, and the tip is absent. The leather handle is solid with expected wear from age. Sheath shows creasing, scuffs, and user-engraved markings but remains intact with secure stitching and rivets. Refer to photos for detailed views.

Size:
Overall Length: 11 inches
Blade Length: 6 inches
