Original U.S. WWII RH PAL 36 MkII-Style Fighting Knife with Leather Belt Scabbard Holsters & Cases almost as a last ditchOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice example of the U. S. PAL RH 36 fighting knife, manufactured by the PAL Cutlery Company, complete with original leather scabbard. These knives were quite popular, much more sturdy than the Mark 1, but not quite as substantial and heavy as the Mark 2 KA BAR. Still, the blade profile and design is very similar to the KA BAR.
