I bought this Uncle Henry 885 stockman (The bottom one) at a truck stop in North Carolina in 1970. I was driving a truck & running Florida at the time. I paid a whopping $17 for it, and I remember thinking, I hope my wife doesn't find out how much I paid for it. That was alot of money for us at that time. It was my first quality pocket knife, and I carried it everywhere, every single day, for 30 years before I retired it. I had a fixed blade that I got in the Marines, and later picked up a Buck 110 for camping & hunting, but the UH was with me all the time, and I never felt like I needed anything else. 

Now I have, I don't even know how many knives, and sometimes can't decide what I want to carry, but the Uncle Henry would still handle any of my daily cutting needs.

That's awesome!  It has stood the test of time with a lot of great memories I'm sure!
