VTG SCHRADE USA 153UH UNCLE HENRY GOLDEN SPIKE

[Jorge Barros]

Hi guys,
First I would like to introduce myself. I am new to this sub forum. I have 30 years collecting and using knives. I have some schrades, but all modern (taylor brand).
I'm negotiating a new one, they told me it's old vintage uncle henry, made in the USA. Can you help me identify it? I don't want a chinese one, or fake one.
Thank you











Hope everything is ok with the pictures, I am not a really tech guy!!.
Thanks

The pictures are not clear enough to see the stamp well but it kind of looks like a chinese one to me. With newer schrades if it doesn't have USA on the tang then its not a USA knife. They are marked so quite clearly and easily identified.

I can see the stamps well enough and I can tell that Chinese staglon from 50 paces in the dark lol. That's a recent Chinese knife. Model # is stamped on rear of tang not on the front with "Schrade U.S.A.". Also the little R in a circle (registered trade mark) beside "Uncle Henry". That's a Taylor addition. Schrade never used the "R".

Here's a link to a thread with all the info you need and then some.

Wao! I thought so when comparing other websites pictures. They almost scammed me.
Thank you all.

There are thousands of the 'real' ones for sale out there, many for very reasonable prices.
Edit: Make that tens or hundreds of thousands.
