General Schrade LB7 question

It has always been my understanding that Uncle Henry was a higher-end product line within Schrade, like Lexus is with Toyota. Both Schrade and Uncle Henry have Bear Paw LB7's...but is there a difference (other than price point) between them? I have a classic LB7 with Schrade+ on the blade (SN U9038), and my original box that is labeled Uncle Henry. However, mine does not have Uncle Henry stamped on the blade as many do.
Comparing knives on Ebay to try and see/learn the differences has not been very fruitful, as most of the knives like mine are all labeled as "Schrade+ Uncle Henry" and look just like mine - no UH stamp on the blade. That of course leads me to think they really don't know either (so why am I surprised?).
So my real question in two parts is this: Is there a difference, and is mine an Uncle Henry knife but without the UH stamp?

Thanks all - I know some of you eat this Scrade stuff for breakfast... I'm getting there.

Lars all the LB-7 knives are Uncle Henry and all have the Schrade+ steel. The early ones simply said LB-7 like yours and I believe "Uncle Henry" was added to the stamp some time around 1988 or there-abouts. Other than that there's no difference.

Oh cool! Well that makes sense - thank you Eric. I appreciate the clarification. It's such an easy answer - but boy I couldn't find it anywhere. Why do I need AI again? :roll:
