Schrade Uncle Henry 807UH J.R. Pocket Knife – USA Made – Mint/Near Mint

This Schrade Uncle Henry 807UH “J.R.” three-blade stockman exemplifies the compact refinement that made Schrade’s Uncle Henry line a favorite among collectors and working men alike. Measuring just 2 ⅞ inches closed, it balances portability with traditional American craftsmanship. The elegant Staglon handles, accented by nickel silver bolsters and brass liners, capture Schrade’s signature mid-century look and feel — a knife that feels at home in both the pocket and the display case.

Ships wrapped in acid-free archival tissue to help preserve both the blade and handle during transit and storage.

Historical Note
The Uncle Henry line was introduced by Schrade in the 1960s as a premium series inspired by Henry Baumgarten, Schrade’s founder. Each knife was designed to embody the durability, elegance, and utility of classic American pocketknives. The 807UH “J.R.” model was among the most compact in the line — a true gentleman’s knife, produced during the Ellenville, New York era before Schrade ceased U.S. production in 2004.

Collector’s Note
Small stockman patterns like the 807UH have grown in collector appeal thanks to their compact size and distinctive Uncle Henry styling. USA-made examples in mint condition, especially with original packaging and papers, are increasingly hard to find — a fine addition for anyone building a Schrade or traditional American knife collection.
