Uncle Henry Knife, NOT SO GOOD ANYMORE

mike55

My father-in-law had a uncle henry filet knife that he used for years, and I've used it several times over the past 8 years. The last time I used it the blade broke off at the handle. This was no big deal to him because it happened one time before years ago and the company sent him a new one. My sister-in-law found the website, emailed the company, and sent it back. Now this was a BONE handle real knife made in the USA. They sent him a PLASTIC handle made in CHINA knife. After I looked at the website I learned that Uncle Henry, Schrade, and Old Timer went out of bussiness in 2004 and someone bought the names to these companies and started make POS knifes in China and selling them under good names.

Now I need to find an old Uncle Henry filet knife because I feel bad that I broke it, no fault of mine, it just broke. But none the less is was in my hand. I found one on here but was wondering if any one knew where I could find at least one more for comparison in price.

Thanks

Still only one knife to choose from. I've found a few that don't look so good. I would like one that will hold an edge and that hasn't been ground down to nothing, doesn't have to be new.

i have one, i found it in a basement several years ago. i had no idea they sold for that much. i am impressed by the way it holds a edge, we moved and had a lot of boxes to get rid of so i used it to cut up over 100 boxes into easier to get rid of pieces.

WOW Don't do that. I will happily buy your knife and give you some box cutters to keep from ruining that knife. Send me an email with some pics and a price. Please don't cut anymore boxes with it, use a box cutter.

Email me with a price or put it up for auction and let me know the auction number. Is that one made in USA. It looks like it is, the one with real bone handles.

Thanks
