Re: LB8 - Were any of the LB8 knives mad in the US?

I had posted before that I had purchased a USA Schrade LB7 with a serial number. I had intended to keep it, but at a gunshow last month I ran into an old friend and ended up giving it to him. A week or so later, I was looking in a pawn shop and ran across an LB8 Uncle Henry and while it didn't have...

Re: Iroquois

I picked up this Iroquois tear drop jack recently at a gun show. It is 3 and 3/8 inches OAL, has half stops on both blades, and is handled in what appears to be candy stripe celluloid. It has a different tang stamp than my other Iroquois in that it is circled and says Utica NY. It also has the numb...

Re: Pocket knife jargon questions?

Another thing to consider is leverage, that is how far from the pivot point is your thumb nail when opening the blade. Some knives have small nail nicks and some use the longer full length pull. That will at least partially explain why some can and bottle opener blades are nail busters.

Beside hammer and hammerless, there is another option like this 638-3, 38 Spl +P. It is the best of both worlds, has a hammer for those of us that want one, but the...

Anyone know what this medallion represents? It is copper or bronze, about 2 inches in diameter, and weighs about 1 and 1/4 oz. The back is flat and has no markings on it. Does the insignia have some religious meaning?

I redid this very similar one a few years back for my brother in law. This one did have a lanyard hole, but no tube. I got new blades from Dale and it turned out great.
