I know iKC member Kevin D is a big PAL knife fan. While he will most likely add a comment here, you can search his comments on PAL to see if he already has discussed the PAL 28 any...

That'll get you started. I hope that helps a little...

Remington offered the very first of the RH knives in 1926. In 1933, Remington (cutlery division) merged with E.I. DuPont until the business was sold to PAL in 1940. By knowing the tang stamps, you can get a pretty decent feel for the manufacturing date. 1926-1933 was Remington UMC, 1933-1940 was Remington DuPont. Anything after that was PAL.

The RH-28 was introduced in 1926, and was offered through 1940.

Blade length was 4½" long.

OAL was 8½" long.

Handle was engraved hard rubber.
