Thank you very much!! Definitely stories to tell
And yea, the combination of the belt sheath and lanyard definitely allowed for cold hands to easily get the knife out for field dressing. It is certainly my most sentimental knife and one I'm happy ended up in my hands to look after for a lifetime!
Awesome! The stories that Id bet that knife could tell...I've posted about this knife before. It is from a time when I didn't know a Schrade from a Utica or what a 4 line Camillus was. I couldn't have even told you a spear point from a sheepsfoot. I used what my grandpa gave me and if it worked for him it certainly should work well enough for me. Ironically, receiving this item for my full time possession a few years ago and wanting to date it is what led me down the rabbit hole of pocket knife collecting. I realized it was hard to date, but that Schrade made a damn good knife. Grandpa had good taste!
Story has it that this 127UH was a knife my grandfather purchased in 1980 or so after a buddy accidentally threw away his '65-'69 Case 5165 fat stag folding hunter with some rolled up messy newspaper off the garage floor when cleaning whitetail. The 5165 was a Christmas gift from my grandmother to my grandfather and they were both pretty upset! But, life goes on and he used this Uncle Henry knife and sheath for years before I was old enough to hunt. It always had this leather lanyard and I've done my best to keep it all in good condition. Once I was old enough to hunt, we used it for literally all of our game; mostly deer and rabbit but occasionally pheasant as well. The blade is stainless, but per usual Schrade shenanigans the backsprings apparently were notThis spring has decades upon decades of natural patina, history, and amazing stories to tell from truly being put to hard work.
What a wonderful, well earned patina on that sentimental favorite.I've posted about this knife before. It is from a time when I didn't know a Schrade from a Utica or what a 4 line Camillus was.

Lots of older hosting sites have gone defunct (as did Hunt101, the one I used to use). When these pop-up I go add the picture back in from my current hosting site (just did that for this thread). Unfortunately some of the folks who posted pictures that are now lost are also lost themselves. OH
Thank you very much!
It is sad that some are gone forever. But, greatly appreciate you updating yours!
