Les, the Uncle Henry pattern you show (I don’t know what it’s called) I remember was the favorite of my Grandpa, who will forever bear the burden of instilling in me my fondness, perhaps an inordinate fondness (), of the 1911 .45 Automatic. A year or so ago a widow bought a small box of pocketknives into the local gunshop to dispose of. In it was a like-new Uncle Henry just like yours, and Grandpa’s, which I promptly bought for my son. He was too young to remember his Great-Grandpa, so maybe some day if he thinks about it the knife will mean something to him.
