The Replacement

It was one of the best choices for its time. That time/situation may be gone, but the memory is not, and thousands of men relied on the JPSK daily for support, comfort and protection.

My favorite "old" knife is the Pal RH36 - just seemed to be more of a useful, general purpose" design to me.

I bought it sometime in early 1981 an it stayed in my car's trunk as my "Earthquake Emergency Kit" until I moved from Los Angeles to Idaho in 1997. It still resides in that pack in the trunk of my car except now I call it my "Winter Emergency Kit.

Do you have a separate kit to handle earthquakes in winter?

Lamewolf the Pal 36 is an old Remington design continued when Pal bought the Remington knife division back in 1930-something.

They were sold through the PX system starting in 1940 and most of what people think were "issue" Pals were actually private purchases.

They pre-date the K-bar and were very popular and extremely good knives.

Nope, no earthquakes where I live now .... but it can become pretty cold in the winter. Therefore, my "Winter Emergency Kit." Actually, I just added a second pair of wool socks, wool gloves, and an old wool jacket to the Earthquake Kit, which then made it my Emergency Winter Kit. That kit will get me home.
