Over the years Schrade has made some really great affordable knives that served as useful day to day tools for many of us. These staglon Uncle Henry's and their delrin Old Timer counterparts were two such fine examples.

Did you know...

In 1941, Albert M. Baer purchased the Ulster Knife Company (which was founded in Ellenville, New York, in the 1870s) and merged it with the Imperial Knife Company and designated this new business as the Imperial Knife Associated Companies, to produce knives for the military. Albert's brother, Henry Baer, was the company's first president and the namesake for Schrade's "Uncle Henry" line of knives. (From Wikipedia)
