Remington rh-34 fixed blade knife parts availability

[drygirl04]

Good morning all.

This is my first post to this forum. i hope that I am posting in the correct category. if not, then someone please advise on where it should go.

I have a Remington RH-34 fixed blade knife that I acquired from my father who has passed. It is missing the pummel on the end and maybe a couple of the pieces that make up the handle. Are parts still available for these knives? I would like to replace these missing pieces as well as some of the worn pieces that make up the handle. By the way, what is the type of material that make up the handle? Please refer to attached images for more information.

Any advise/information that anyone can offer is greatly appreciated. I look forward to the replies to this post.

Kindest regards,

No parts . The best way to handle it is to buy a wrecked knife off Ebay, and pull the pommel and maybe some other things. You're missing a red fiber washer, a black leather or fiber washer, and a couple of thin brass ones. The pattern at the front should be the same at the back. It also looks like a bit of the tang has snapped off, I forget if this model used a pin through pommel or a brass nut that screwed on, but once you've got the pommel in hand, it would be an easy fix for a knifemaker, machine shop, handy man to do by welding a little extension.

These guys might have the right size spacers -

Looking at mine, I'd say that you are missing three of the brass washers, one of the black washers, and one red washer. I think your biggest problem, judging from your picture, is that it appears the threads are broken off where the pommel nut screws on. The pommel is held on by a brass nut that screws onto the threads at the base of the handle through the the pommel. You might have better luck just pulling your handle and replacing it with a solid one. Jantz has a lot of different handle materials to choose from, or you could go with antler, or maybe a nice piece of hardwood your dad left in the garage. Just a thought. Good luck!

If you didn't mind completely replacing the handle, I'm sure you could find someone who would be willing to completely re handle the knife.

If it was mine I would just drill a small hole through that exposed tang and attach a piece of pinned and epoxied whitetail antler crown of the appropriate length to make a comfortable handle sanded down to match the contours of the remaining handle material. You could also just use a piece of fancy hardwood or micarta and do the same thing.
The fix is pretty easy which almost any knifemaker or knife repairer could do.
