Did Remington make these RH4s with thick leather slabs?

Or does ol' Sporty strike again? He doesn't attest one way or the other about the authenticity of this knife.

Re: Remington Outers in Leather
I would have to assume that handle is a homemade job. That doesn't look like Sporty's handywork to me, but I still wouldn't trust him "as fas as I could throw him".1967redrider wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 2:32 pm Did Remington make these RH4s with thick leather slabs?

I agree, Herb. I probably need to Google STADRI to see if this was an outfitter or a leather company, never seen it before. And I'm suspicious about its Remington connection.

Re: Remington Outers in Leather
The only Sta-Dri I was able to find was a manufacturer of patches (who also sells and produces leather patches), founded in 1955. That alone tells me, most likely, FAKE

Re: Remington Outers in Leather
Here's a RH4 with Rogers bone. I would agree that sporty's RH4 has been rehandled.

That's a HOK (honest old knife), LJ.
