I don't often carry this knife because of its immense sentimental value, but I decided to bust it out since I'll just be in my office today. This Schrade Uncle Henry was the first knife I was given when I got my totin' chip. It was given to me by my grandmother some 20 odd years ago. I still remember how proud she was to give it to me proclaiming that "They had that on one the top shelf! Behind lock and key!" and how proud I was to have it.
In my teen years, I abused the hell out of it, bent the tip, neglected it (and it's significance), and eventually lost it. About 3 years ago, I was thinking about my Grandma, and I decided to go on a quest to find it knowing that I'd seen it in a box of crap from highschool in one of the several moves. After about a week of searching, I found it, bent the clip blade back into shape, re formed the tip on a belt sander and sharpened it up. Still as functional as the day I got it! Definitely an old friend.
