Remington Outers in Leather

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.

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".

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.

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

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.
