Lucky you! LB7s with Staglon scales are kinda rare. The predecessors to the LB8. I'm jealous! Good for you!!toomanyknives wrote: ↑Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:16 pm Here are my latest Schrades. A nice old LB7 Uncle Henry and a COPE Jack..

Thanks Mustanger. You're right, this is an early one. You can see the reflection of the serial number under the model if you blow up the pic. The serial is 7600. I was lucky to find it in a little thrift sore near my house. It's pretty minty too. I have an LB8 also, and a mint LB7 with wood scales. They are some great old knives.Mustanger wrote: ↑Sun Mar 16, 2025 4:42 pmLucky you! LB7s with Staglon scales are kinda rare. The predecessors to the LB8. I'm jealous!

From everything I was able to research TR, the earliest LB7's came with either wood or staglon. But, what you say makes perfect sense also. I'm with you,tongueriver wrote: ↑Sun Mar 23, 2025 12:22 am I am seeing this a little differently and I could be wrong, as I so often am. I believe that the first LB-8s had LB-7 blades in them because they did not yet have the LB-8 stamped blades yet. If this is true the op knife is an LB-8 with an LB-7 blade, not vice versa. I would love to hear from someone who is privy to the actual story.
Funny you mentioned that TR. I just pulled this out for a pic the other day. Not a 4 pin though.tongueriver wrote: ↑Sun Mar 23, 2025 2:42 pm Anyway, they are all great knives. My faves are the early 4 pin 'sawcut' Old Timer 7OTs with non-stainless blades but I do like them all.
Very Nice! Great collection.tongueriver wrote: ↑Sun Mar 23, 2025 4:13 pm I have a couple of these.

I'm a 7-0T fan all the way!
....
This week I just picked up a 6-OT (I don't need it, but the price was TOO good to pass up
) ... I think it was called the "GOLDEN BEAR", and they started making them in 1995
