Schrade values

[Paladin 51]

I have several Schrade knives that I have been trying to find values for. I used to frequent this forum every day till life made it impossible anymore. I thought I would come here as you guys are the most knowledgeable.
First is LB7 marked Schrade+ over USA LB7 with serial number J55530. New never sharpened or carried with green wax substance over the brass. Has white box that fits into a white sleeve. Box marked Schrade+ over Schrade Cutlery Corp, Ellenville. NY 12418 on end with top marked Uncle Henry by Schrade Curlery Corp. Has papers and loss claim certificate and brown leather case.
Next is 34OT in clear plastic pack with white sharpening stone. Never opened.
Next is 194OT gunstock trapper. Don't really know how to grade knives but would say 98% as has some slight discoloration on backspring. No marks or scratches on blade (still looks new) and has been lightly sharpened on sharpmaker. I have carried this one a few times (less than 5) but have put it up for years. Also have blue box and papers.
Finally a 108OT in same condition as the 194. Slight discoloration on backsprings. Blades in great shape and think I have the box for this one as well. Both of these knives look new except for the discoloration on spring.
Am wanting to fund a new rifle project and have lost interest in knives for the time being. Still have way too many that don't get carried enough. Don't need to sell these but would entertain the thought.

Do a simple search on ebay for each pattern you mention, and then click on "completed listings onlyl" in the left column, and you will see what they have been going for. Your patterns are some of the most common made by Schrade. The LB7 will bring the most. I would guess (this is a guess!) you would not realize more than $100 total for all of them sold separately. Hopefully you will do better than that.

It is hard to put values on knives now days. They seem to change almost daily...and they are not going up for the most part. This has been true for the last 18 months to 2 years as people have been selling their collections in this poor economy.

When I need a price on a knife, I go to ebay and see what the completed auctions have closed at for knives in comparable condition to the ones I want to sell. Be sure to see the price they sold for, not the price they asked. Some of the asking prices are ridiculous!

Your knives are pretty common so you should be able to find ones like them in similar condition. Be sure you look for the USA made Schrades and not the new ones made in China. The ones made in China are MUCH less expensive.

I did a quick check on ebay & the prices are all over the place. New in box with papers & sheath the LB-7 is bringing from $35 to $80.

34OT, NIB, between $25 to $35.
194OT - good used $25-$35
108OT - good used $10 -$20


Hope this helps,
