I've got the world's finest at last...

[Edgewise]

I actually have the "World's Finest Pocket Knife" ,and I have the evidence to prove it because that's how Schrade introduced the line back in1967 ,( see Orvet's detailed write up about it in his store.(pg. eight )
So if you think you have another knife which is the World's Finest (like maybe the #72 )
then produce the evidence. If not, then produce the evidence that mine is not the World's Finest Pocket Knife.
And here it is, in case you didn't know already (although not the world's finest photograph )

I can't argue with you Edgewise, and certainly not with Orvet's detailed write up .
Your photograph is not so bad either.

That's a good knife alright.

Pretty close, for my taste. Of course my first knife was the perfect one, but that’s in the neighbourhood!

The old Ulster 58, at 2 3/4" is a bit smaller than the UH897 but seems just as 'perfect'.

You guys never fail to surprise. Instead of getting beat over the head I'm getting favorable responses.
I suppose " Finest " is rather more vague than saying "Best Pocket Knife ", so we can excuse Schrade for their pride in the 897UH which turned out to be probably the longest running Uncle Henry pattern (orvet again )
Thanks for the suggestion kj. I'm now on to the "old Ulster 58" because the 897UH may be the finest but still not the lightest.

It was the finest as in among the best schrade was making, at the time.
