RH-36 my grandfathers' brother gave it to him when he came home from WW2. He used it for skinning deer and it went missing awhile ago , my grandmother found it the other day stashed away in the kitchen and gave it to me.
I've been getting some old/strange stuff from her since my grandfather died.

Pretty cool knife made for business.

If only it could talk. That's a nice old one for sure. I know the RH stands for Remington Hunters pattern and 36 might be the specific pattern. Thanks for posting and congrats on a nice piece of family history. Maybe the sheath will turn up too.

have the sheath but it's so rotted from sitting in the open air for years.

Is that a bayonet for an M1 Garand?

Is that a bayonet for an M1 Garand?

No. It's a fixed blade hunting knife.

Here are some examples of a Garand bayonet, there are several variations/models.

The one shown in your last link is the the only bayonet when installed on the M1 that does not screw up the accuracy of the weapon. It hangs totally off the gas tube. The older ones hang off the muzzle and I tell you what you'd be lucky to hit a man in the chest at 25 yards with a bayonet like the M1 or the 1905 type attached. That MkV, you can hit just the same as if it wasn't mounted to the weapon.
