Thank you everyone who contributes to these forums. I sure learned a wealth of information on these great knives especially the ones I own. My collection is growing and I am partial to the large lockbacks as I got my first LB8 when I was fifteen. Now I have another LB8, a 7OT and an LB7 which I gave to dad since I lost his Buck 110 years ago. Schrade made a much better knife. One other thing before I sign off. Did any of the signature UH LB8 knives have serial numbers? I noticed an Lb7 serial number post but what about LB8's. The LB7 seems to be most popular.
