Better pics after a clean and polish. After more research I think it could be a factory custom. Schrade sometimes used this micarta in the 1990s.bladecollectorr wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2019 3:42 pm I just added another Bear Paw to my collection. This one has nickel silver bolsters and early 2-line "Schrade+" over "U.S.A. LB7" stamp. Canvas(?) micarta handles with a nice (genuine) scrimshaw of a bighorn sheep.
The micarta looks nothing like what Schrade was using in the '80s on their Amex Presidents or I*XL knives. My best guess is handles are post-factory but the rivets used look the same as factory knives so who knows.

More genuine scrimshaw. Frank Giorgianni did about 50 of these micarta knives for the Dedication of the (bigger) Ellenville factory in 1987. This example was given to Schrade salesman Gary Iwert at the 1986 Imperial Schrade National Sales meeting. He worked the mid-west US.

Re: Schrade Uncle Henry LB7
Are there 3 or 4 pins in the handle ?
First LB7's were made in 1977 and the serial numbers were on the shoulder of the right bolster. After 999,999 was reached then began A0000 up to A999999, and then began the "B" serial numbers. After "Z", came "AA" and so on up to "AZ" after which serial numbers were discontinued.
I think your knife is from mid 1980's ? Others may know more exactly.

There is for sale right now the very first Dixie Collection serial numbers 00000 on both knives all boxed and unused. Some store in Austrailia I think.
