- Uncle Henry Golden Spike 153UH First Impressions Review
In this video I do a first impressions review of the Uncle Henry Golden Spike 153UH Fixed Blade Knife. The blade is a Drop Point design with a Plane Edge grind. The blade is made out of 440c Stainless Steel. The overall length of the knife is 9.25 inches and the blade is 5 inches long. The handle is made out of Staglon and is held in place with a brass finger guard and butt handle. The overall weight of the knife is 6.3 ounces. The Golden Spike comes with a leather sheath and a sharping stone.

2022 reporting to the Wingman. $32 on Amazon ! Still an incredible, amazing deal. What you state is 100% true. Styles have changed over the years since the 70's and knives like the Old Henry 153UH most certainly fell out of favor along with Buck 420HC blades. These were the knives featured in the local hardware store that sold shot shells and ammo, shovels, and axes. From a practical standpoint, the knife you feature can do everything from hunting, camping, filet, gutting, food prep and self-defense. And it doesn't break the bank. I have shied away from these sort of knives for years collecting custom knives. But it is time to get back to the basics. Thanks or the video.
My very 1st knife. Its realy is a good hunting knife. I also cleaned countless fish with it. Its old school but it works
Got one of these yesterday, second-hand but never used. For $100 I got a Buck, a Puma, a Ka-Bar and this Uncle Henry knife. All four are like new. Very happy!
Thank you for an honest review about a classic knife. It’s good to see someone not complain about blade steel and the handle material.
Just picked one up today. And I had one as a young man. It brought back memories of when my father and I would go hunting. He taught me how to hunt fish and camp and every now n then when we were alone he'd give me a beer. That knife was on my hip every time we would go on an adventure. There truly American classic knives.
Another thing I like about it is the handle straps snap is a little loose so I can wrap the handle in paracord and it will still snap in. 🇺🇸 made 👍
I have been using that knife for the past 2 years & Still great condition & still sharp, Recommend to anyone who loves old school hunting knives.
I really wish they would go back to US production. They used to make AMAZING knives. I can't make myself buy a Chinese knife.
Great knife. One of my favorite fixed blade knives. I applied Tat Wax to the leather sheath everyday for about 2 weeks and it became very supple leather and took on a very distinct mahogany luster. The manufacturer hardly ever takes the time to cure the leather properly. But I don't mind as it gives me something to do. I did tune up the blade with careful sharpening of an already sharp knife. Now it is sharper than ever and would be suitable for shaving. I like this knife and the classic old school look of it. Soon I will be looking to hunt a deer this year, and will be looking forward to skinning it out with this knife. Thanks for the video.
I just purchased one, I’m happy to know of it’s history and acceptance amongst true hunters! 👍
I’ve had one for years and it’s still sharp like it come out the factory
Just ordered my first!
I picked mine up at wallmart for $20
Found this knife in my dad's collection about a decade ago and I always wanted it. Now I've got it and it's pretty cool. Don't really use it but it's quite a looker 👌
Admire your dad's knife and buy one of the new ones to use.
My brother gave me one in 1979. I still have it. It's held extremely well. I don't baton with it because I have never had to, but it's gutted a lot of deer, and cut a lot of branches in it's time.
I have other knives now that I use more often, but this Golden Spike will always hold a special place in my collection.
+Max Peters I love how these designs bring back great memories.
I’ve had one of those knives for more than 20 years,,,,I love it,,,Thanks For you’re review....🇨🇦
5 Stars to you, John... Outstanding first impressions of what I call the old faithful hunting knife!! How can you beat that price for that blade... Outstanding for sure!!
Your video makes want to cry! I had the Golden Spike hunting as a kid in the late '70s. I lost it after gutting my deer in '85. I searched for hours on the hillside where I dressed the deer, but it was gone. Thankfully I still have U. S. made Sharpfinger. The older Schrade, Uncle Henry, Old Timer knives were top notch tools to work with. Thanks for the memory of my old hunting knife...
AnthemBassMan Your welcome. Thanks for watching.
Picked one up today Walmart for $33.00 and change. My friend has one that he has owned since the '70's or so. It has processed some game. Everything you said. I love my Buck 105, but this feels pretty darn nice. Took it to a strop after opening and and went to work on some chicken. Applied leather treatment on the sheath. This go on hunting, fishing, camping, and who knows where. The handle fills my older hands well. Outstanding value and quality.
Bought mine around 1981. The new ones have changed a little, but not in any important way. This was what we used for bushcraft and camping back then. It's more than capable of splitting kindling, cutting rope and camp kitchen chores.
just bought one online, I'm personally a knife collector and love the classic hunting knives. glad I decided to make the purchase of a historic and beautiful blade.
Nice man 23 bucks is a steal , i just picked one up exact same one from Walmart for 36 bucks , great knife for upcoming deer season
I bought this knife in 1988 and gutted at least 60 deer may be more and I'm still using it today (30 years later). I pass the knife over a stone a few times and it sharpens right up. I highly recommend this knife.
They are truly beautiful works of art and a traditional style knife for any deer Hunter........
I have one also i love it 5 stars a leather sheath stone and the classic knife that our fathers even had i got at Walmart for 25 even just cant go wrong the feel and weight makes it handle very well fir all uses.
Your presentation was excellent I could see the excitement in your face I don't blame you that's a beautiful knife plus the sheath that things worth the price of the knife 👍
I had a friend give me one of these in the 1980's, I don't remember the exact year. It has been sitting in drawers all these years. I looked at it tonight closely and noticed it had SCHRADE USA 153UH on the blade and a signed Uncle Henry on the brass finger guard. So I googled it out of curiosity and saw it was a good nife. It was special before because it was given to me but more now after your review.
+brenna b great comment. Thanks for sharing.
Great review. Bought mine about 20 years ago...was $40 then. Cleaned lots of trout, bass and pheasant with it and its still razor sharp with a little help. I own the other one you mentioned as well. Just like the old time look as well.
Old School still rules!
Just got one of these as a Christmas present and it's a great knife so far. From the factory it's very very sharp, shave sharp. The build quality and feel is right on par with my similar Buck knives, very solid and nice balance. It's very hard to judge Chinese manufactured knives these days purely on the fact they are made in China. Some knives and knife companies are outstanding like this one, and some are just plain rubbish. It all comes down to manufacturing standards and to never judge a knife based on a label alone. 8.7/10 rating.
Thanks for the comment.
I love deer hunting and I use to see papa carry one all the freaking time still has one I think I need one !
I bought my first Golden Spike in 1992 back when Schrade was based in USA. It has been used successfully for many big game hunts and has NEVER let me down. Quality is quite good indeed. Two years ago, I bought same knife for my nephew when he graduated from high school. His knife is an import since Schrade is now based overseas. But quality is the same. I can perceive no differences. We hunted together in western Maryland where he toppled a 6 point buck and a large doe with his 30-30 carbine. His knife was used for field dressing, skinning, and quartering the animals. In my opinion, Schrade still builds 'em right! The Golden Spike is a keeper!
I have one. I love this knife. Very nice blade design, great sheath. Not to many knives coming with nice leather sheath anymore. This leather matches my pistol holster. Price is good too
Came across this video, I have this knife as well, us it for hunting and fishing it is my favorite knife I own, I'm 55 and like you stated it keeps the old school value!!!!! I is an amazing knife for the money one you will absolutely fall in love with quickly, everyone that sees it loves it!
👍🏻👊🏻
Uncle Henry Golden Spike 153UH First Impressions Video.
For the price it's hard to beat.
Schrade Cutlery,? closed down in NYS & Now Taylor Co. Makes these knives over in China,? Just wondering,? If the Quality is the same as the ones that were made in NYS,? Back then.? Or even close to it.?
Good Carry SD knife also,? If need be.?
Nah, the steel is not the same high carbon of the old ones, it's typical Chinese stainless. Compared one recently to a friends old one that he still had since we were kids. No comparison. Looks good but let the buyer beware. Keep in mind I grew up by the the old Schrade factory were most of my classmates and even some of their moms would make a few bucks doing piecework. The current knife is like a knock off. I'd suggest trying to hit up the pawn shop or even ebay for an old one.
had mines over a year now, no complaints.
Beautiful looking knife I'm going to buy one 👍
My Dad gave me an old USA made version of this knife as my first knife when I was younger.
The USA made version is worhty 5 or 10 times as much! Keep it
@@budchestnut9303
I just bought one from a old school tool store. I know nothing about knifes, However, I do know a made in USA knife is usually a well made knife and not cheap. When I saw the label USA153UH I assumed it was made in the USA so I bought it. The good ol’ man who owns the tool shop said he purchased it from an estate sale. He sold it to me for $25. I figured it was a good deal for a USA made knife so I bought it lol.
I went home and looked it up and saw new ones are being sold for $24.99, I thought I got a bad deal. Haha. I
Iooked more into it and found out Schrade has been around a long time and used to be made in the USA. I think I got that version for $25. Not bad :)
Hi,
Million thanks buddy; what a nice review, nice to see another passionate guy like me about old school hunting knifes. You got me on the 1st scene with the deers lol!... I buyed this knife yesterday, after watching it through the glass of knifes section at my local Canadian tire store. This knife i sold for over a decade here and i never buyed it until yesterday. Great knife and one of the best value for the price, 39.99$CA here and without any shipping cost.
tuxminator31 Thanks for watching.
I bought my son Big Davis this knife for his birthday a couple years ago and he still loves it. In fact he will be dressing out a deer with it next week more than likely!
+ThunderMountain Tactical Nice!
I got three love them carry one about all the time love the design
I recently bought this knife about two weeks ago and the knife was amazing it was really good fitting in the hand I definitely suggest this nice knife for everybody who loves traditional knives as much as I do.
I'm glad that folks still like and love the old school designs. Thanks for watching.
It is a good hunting and skinning knife design with that upsweeping tip.
I have both USA and China made golden spikes and have used them for around 40 years trapping, hunting large and small game, camping and so on. They are a super knife for the real woodsman, USA and China made alike. People, rather you like it or not, there the real thing. And goodness, they are priced even for the poor boy or girl. I know there proven in the backwoods time and time again, any true woodsman that's lived it knows it.
I have this knife myself, I love it!
greatest knife I've owned got it last Christmas have skinned 1 antelope and 6 deer this year alone and it proves itself every time.
+Broncs 69 Thanks for the comment.
Just bought one for hiking here in British Columbia. I am Very excited to try it out! I love the quality and its old school look. Nice sheath too. Happy Canada day.
Thanks for watching Lance.
I’ve had that knife for about a year and I put it through hell and back and it is still my favorite knife
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. This knife is actually my every day carry. I have it on my hip every single day along with my Smith & Wesson M&P .380. If I don't have it with me I feel like I left home without my wallet.
Thanks for the comment.
Have one. Use it for deer.. But i just bought on eBay a USA version and am so excited for it to arrive.
owned one for 10 years. AWESOME Piece of Machinery ! it's going to last for a VERY long time. Hopefully my Sons, Sons Grandkids will still have it in the year 2100 or so. bet it WILL last that long.
+Nunya Biznis Thanks for sharing.
I have one I got given to me by someone I resharpened it an its hands down one of the sharpest blades I've ever felt.
I know exactly what you mean! I was in one of my favorite sporting goods stores yesterday here in Oregon and they had Schrade and Smith & Wesson knives on sale, 20% off. I spotted a Uncle Henry Golden Spike in the glass case, and just had to have it! It so reminds me of the "grownups" hunting knives the men in our deer camp carried back in the day. I had only owned one other Schrade knife before, a Sharpfinger, but I lost it somewhere several years ago. And guess how much I paid for my new Uncle Henry four years since you've posted this review? $23.95! Subscribed.
Thanks for stopping by.
I have one and I use it for everything I give it over a five star it's like the perfect knive ever made I have a lot of knives but this is the best out of every knive I have
Used it to skin and butcher a jackrabbit for dinner. Worked great! Does not work well with wood, so definitely a hunting knife.
I have a old carbon steel one.. Love that knife..
👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Mate great video, I was pretty sold on this knife and now you have just wrapped it all up for me. For the pure value and quality I am getting one for my son and one for me also, cheers mate.
Grant Duffy Grant thanks for stopping by.
I bought this knife it reminds me of my grandad he gave me my first uncle Henry fold up knife still have it thanks for the review
Thanks for watching.
Funny that the price is so low. I paid about the same for mine (SN 62666) back in the 70's. Always believed it had a rat-tail tang, so I never used it for anything but deer hunting. Only negative I've ever found is in the sheath - they should put a rivet thru the safety strap to keep it from rotating. Very good review, so I subscribed. Thanks!
Great looking knife definitely brings back memories.
Lars Thanks for checking in..
Gonna have to buy me this one, thx for the review and showing it off, can't beat that price and sheath deal. It's in my cart now. Have a great day.
Your welcome. Thanks for watching.
I love those old school knives. It always reminds me of my dad when I see one. Thank you for the great review on this one. Take care my friend and I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and will have a very Happy New Year!!!! I very much appreciate and enjoy all of your great videos. You do them with enthusiasm, dedication, and very high quality. Enjoy the outdoors and PLEASE take your camera with you.
Thanks Campfire!
I bought one today for every reason you said before seeing this video
👍🏻👊🏻
that was my first k ife i got when i turned one my grandfather gave it to me one of te best knifes ive ever owned
I love the cool stories that come with the gift of a knife. Thanks for sharing.
Love the classic stag. Just bought one for 20 bucks off of Amazon. Nice review.
Thanks for checking in. Happy New Year.
I’m going to have to get one now.
Love this knife! Especially the leather sheath! #awesome
Got my first one yesterday. I love the feel can't wait to skin a 10 point Buck with it.
@Steven Mays that knife is American made!!!!!
I have both the us made one and the chinese based one... quality is good and just love the knife.. I made a new leather sheath for mine so I could modify what was carried on it and made a kydex sheath for the other.. I always have one attached to my waist when im out in the woods wether hunting fishing or just hiking..
Chris Brown Chris thanks for sharing!
Wingman115 thank for your review,I just got me a 153uh great knife,nice and tight.
+Capt'n .Woodsrat Thanks for stopping by.
Merry Christmas
Thanks Dale I hope you had a great one.
I have the old Uncle a Henry, which was passed down from my dad to me. He fought for years to get an edge in it, as it was not particularly well ground upon our has back in the 60’s. It became a conversation piece, as he both hated and loved the knife at the same time. The new one is absolutely amazing. Unless, as stated in the video, you are a dumbass with it, it too can be an heirloom blade. An absolute steal for the price.
Man ! They really went to town on that swedge compared to the original .
I loove the look John. If only they did a cryogenic quench like Peters', then you'd really have a long lasting knife, only problem, that's about the same price of that whole knife. 5 stars for looks for sure. Good look at it. Let's rock 2014!
Thanks brother!
I luv this knife it's solid ,one of my favorite knives
Good stuff. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
I have this knife and the edge is wicked sharp. I use DMT Diafold diamond sharpeners then strop. The things like a straight razor.
+Jeff Sherrod Thanks for sharing.
I have one of those and am satisfied with it. Even more so after that review. 😀 However the sharpening stone is rough as a brick. I wonder if I can smooth it out a bit.
The Schrade video says this knife's blade is made of "7CR17 high carbon stainless steel", not 440C.
I have a 3013 knife. It looks like Schrade changed steel for the 2014 model.
Just bought one.. Love it
👍🏻
I buy the same 5" inches Blade and I like this !🧢👊🧢
My grandpa kept his on top of the fridge I always wanted that knife but it went to one of my uncle's.
Merry Christmas BTW. Good video, man
I like the look of the knife came sharp but it's one of a few knives I cannot sharpen .I sharpen my knives and other people's
I would replace that Sharpening Stone,? With a Diamond Two sided Stone,? Of the same size that will fit into that leather Sheath.? As the Diamond Stones, do a better job on the Blades,? Than the Stone that comes with that knife.? E Bay,? has some good deals on this knife Plus Free Shipping,? On some of the Stores also.
Y did you make everything a question
Nice one man. Schrade sent me the SCHF10...overview & review coming soon.
I will keep and eye out for it brother. Thanks for checking in.
Great review. The Schrade site lists the steel as 7Cr17, which is similar, but not quite 440c.
I just don't think you can do much better than a Schrade, regardless of the price. Especially for a working knife.
It looks like they switched steel for 2014. I will have to check it out. Thanks for the comment.
That's Sweet Bro!
Nice 1 brother !
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Wingman. I was wondering what kind of camera and video editing software do you have setup? Thanks and take care.
In this video I use a Samsung H300 camcorder and edit with iMovie11. I sometimes film with my GoPro Hero 2 with a external mic. I also film with a DSLR Canon t3i but I don't like to walk around in the woods with that.. It's way to much gear for going on my hikes and scouts. If you have any editing questions shoot me a pm.. Thanks for checking in.
I got one from a local store. It had some scuffs on the brass parts and was not the sharpest. And for me it was 32 dollars. Kinda annoyed that I could've gotten it for less online. But I would still rate it five stars because the thing is amazing for practicaly nothing.
You may have gotten a older one made the 1095 steel. That was made here in the states.
@@Wingman115 maybe it didn't have a usa or China stamp on it anywhere.
I would like to replace handle with an actual antler.would it be hard to do.thanks
440C?
My Dad gave one too me, nice knife!
+Josh Gander Josh hang on to it great memories. Take care.
Got this same knife,its a good one no doubt
+bill smith thanks for stopping by.
...or a Buck knife...haha!
I don't have one but I really like them and appreciate the type. Like you said, how can you beat the value?
Enjoyed the deer at the beginning as well. California Mule deer or Southern Mule deer? They look a little different than what we have out here.
I'm not sure about the deer breed but man those bucks get huge. Thanks for stopping by brother.
That blade is 7cr17mov the last time I got one bud. I wish they made it in 440 c. You need very know. Maybe they do. Great knife though.
👍🏻👊🏻
awesome knife.
Thanks for stopping by.
The style of the blade is great. You mentioned the handle was something funky sounding. How does it feel and what kind of traction do you get on it?
The handles are made out of Staglon. With the profile of the handle and the contour of the finger cutouts it grips really well.
Great knife and a review my friend.
Thanks Kip..
They used to be made in US. Now its made in China. I prefer a US made knife, but I got this at a pawn shop basically new for 15 bucks, and I have to say the sheath quality is great, the knife is well built and overall seems to be a good knife.
+Benjamin Clark Thanks for checking out the video.
I have one. I love it. Super great deal.
Thanks for checking in.
Como saver si son de chinna si no marca la leyenda echo en china
Great knife mate looks good
Thanks for checking in.
Not digging the traditional handle (never did like traditional) but I'm digging the blade.
This baby is sharp!
patrick c As a kid growing up in Northern Maine. I seen a ton of this style of knife growing up.. I love the old school look.
7R17 steel is a joke. they took a great knife and turned it to shit
Awsome knives for an Awsome price but don't tell the democrats they might try and take them from us. 🇺🇸 is going down hill fast. 🙏 pray our children will forgive us.
I thought this would be a great knife for my needs but I'm not sure it is now. I do a lot of camping, outdoors survival stuff. I do a little bit of small game hunting but the odds of me needing to skin anything are pretty slim. I need a pretty hardcore knife, so a folding knife won't cut it. Any recommendations? I don't have a huge budget
+Zander Gladman-Mitchell Schrade SCHF51 or 52 when they come out this fall..
This is a great knife. It probably could handle a few batonings, but why? Buy a bic lighter if you want an easy fire.
