Very Rare Schrade USA 3RD Generation. The REAL thing ?

Post by Schradenut »

This knife is finishing on Ebay shortly, and it doesn't seem to be the real thing to me. When i first saw it, i thought it was a Schrade 892UH, but the heading, and the tang stamp threw me with "Very Rare Schrade USA 3RD Generation 707UH Uncle Henry Pocket Knife". To me a 707uh is the Gambler, with a pen blade & scissors.
Is this the real deal or a wrong tang stamp. Ebay # 161152968778. What is also throwing me, is that most of the guys on it are big hitters.
The word from you learned gentleman, would be appreciated.
Tony.

Tony: It is the smallest of the three 3rd Generation Uncle Henry knives. It's the real deal, and the 707UH pattern number was used for both. Same pattern as the wooden cousin, the C627. They are 2 5/8" long.

Many thanks Hal. When all the big hitters were on it, it made me think it was one i didn't know anything about.

Looks like the seller got some late action on that 707UH. Hope all is well Tony.
