...and I cry everytime I think about it.

I bought a Schrade Uncle Henry Bearpaw in 78-79; it went around the world with me. I eventually wore it out and retired it.

I bought a Buck a few years back for a replacement; if they were still made by the real Schrade, I would have bought another Bearpaw; a lot bigger and heavier than the Buck and of comparible quality.
