Uncle Henrys pre 1973
Has anyone got a pre 1973 Uncle Henry.
I'm wondering if the SCHRADE WALDEN Tang Stamp was used on those.

Yes...I have a couple 897UH that are Waldens. I think I have a 127UH that is a Walden also.

Re: Uncle Henrys pre 1973
This link should be "hot" to the 1972 catalog. You will see that Uncle Henry 171, 172, 127, 227, 285, 897, and 885 knives were sold with Schrade Walden tang stamps. Although mid 1973 was the approximate cutoff date for the company changes and resultant tang stamps, many do not realize that they actually moved from Walden to Ellenville in 1958!

Thanks guys - that's great info - and with pictures too. Some beautiful mint SW UHs with packaging, I can only dream.
P.S. The 885UH is my preferred EDC.
