I recently got a very heavy 2 bladed hunter which I absolutely love!! It is massive and very heavy. Makes my Buck 110 look anemic. Now I am trying to find out if there is a single blade 4 inch blade or longer, with thick scales/handle, and truly stout made during the 70's up until Schrade went to China. Interested in all versions of Schrade - Uncle Henry, Imperial, Walden, etc.

Thanks for your help with this. Trying to find the model numbers and decades of such knives. Folding hunter is what I am looking for.
 
6ot and 7ot in the Old Timer line. Large, heavy lockbacks. Don't have one in front of me at the moment to measure, but they are similar to the Buck 110. If you want to make sure you're getting an original, the USA tang stamp is the key.



 
How about a daddy barlow? Another possibility...

Another possibility floated into my memory from a different Schrade-family brand. How 'bout a 5-1/4" (closed) Frontier "Double Eagle" 4816 liner-lock. It's substantial and I like the handles on them.

Thanks again everyone!
I have love the heavier ones and really like the looks of the Double Eagle 4625, the Uncle Henry LB8, along with some of the other really big folders in the Schrade family -- the ones made in the U.S. I mean.
I have offered my really nice Case XX Grandaddy Barlow made in the 80's for trade and have been adding to the list of what I think would be a fair trade.I like the Barlow but have not used it since I just can't get to liking the half stop feature, but love everything else about it, including the 4 inch blade and beefy covers/scales. I have always used scales as a term for modern folders, but not sure what to call the handle on traditional folders.
 
I have a 4" 127UH linerlock that fits that description. Picked it up on eBay for about $40.
