I have found that one of the best things of knife collecting is learning the history. Thanks for sharing this photos.

Ken, I own only one Russell Barlow, I certainly hope it's not fake. It's clearly marked USA. What makes one a fake?

FromOver 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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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)
