Welcome, Bob!  I really don't know much about older knives, but I do know that sometimes (even today) some knife companies made knives for other knife companies (counter-intuitive, but true).  Whether that's the case with your PAL RH50, I have no idea; but someone here probably knows!  Also, noticing you're a woodworker who's into knives -- are you also a carver?  (I've dabbled, but there are some here who do more than that.)  Anyway, have a look around -- glad you're here!

Well hello Bob - welcome to iKC! We're glad you're here. What a coincidence...I just logged in and accidentally found you too! Thought I would stop by and say Hi. 

Feel free to look about and explore the Groups, review some on-going chats, revive some old ones with a new question or comment, and post some pic's.

Lots to do and see around here....and if you have questions, ask away. Someone is always around to lend a hand.

Cheers Bob -
