Just picked this up at a local gun show. A nice PAL
Don't know much history on this knife but I liked it :)

Should be able to get more info on PAL and the knife if you do a search of this forum.
 
PAL Cutlery Co. was originally a trademark of the Utica Knife & Razor Co. It was first used in 1924. In 1934 Otto E. Kraus started the PAL Blade Co.
in Chicago. 1939 PAL Blade and PAL Cutlery merged to form PAL Blade Company, Inc. on Madison Ave, NYC. In 1940 PAL purchased the cutlery division of Remington Arms. They moved the equipment to Mass. PAL would use parts on hand at the Remington plant, regardless of tang markings. This includes the circle and in line markings as well. So some PAL knives will have Remington blades in them. The PAL/Remington Bullets are very rare! Many PAL knives went to war in WW2. By 1945 it was all over for PAL. Factory in Mass. was closed and manufacture was discontinued.
 
Here's a little Pal/Remington pen that could be the same frame, this one is 3 1/4 inches closed. The Master blade has the old Remington mark so it was likely put together in the first year after buying the Remington parts, it also has Remington bone scales. What length is your frame Ram?

best regards

It's a 3 3/4 size with derin handles. Wish they were bone like yours.
