Was web surfing looking for some info' on Grohmann knives, and saw this Grohmann #380 folder on their website.

Wow, that handle and bolsters looks awful familiar!!

Hoser or poser? Take off! It's a butey way to go.....

I was looking at the fixed blades in Victoria this summer - was thinking of getting one for a camp knife.

I miss the hump day honey's.....
 
So I have a question. Did Buck copy Schrade or did Schrade copy Buck. (I really don't know the answer but I would like to know).
 
I dont know when Schrade starting making theirs, the LB7?, but Buck started designing the 110 in 1963-ish. If I remember the story correctly, they took a look at current knives on the market and tried to glean out the good points from them and design the knife around that.
Wish I had one of those early prototypes! :D
 
UM YA,thats NOT 110 ,not even close,I have one and it doesn't compare,bolsters are thinner,blade looks better than it works,doesn't sharpen up good,doesn't stay sharp long,and ..........its $150 bucks,you do the math.lol
 
Ummm well I don't think it was an LB7. I think it was a Schrade 7OT which the LB7 was modeled after---but I don't know when the first one was made.

We've discussed the Grohmann here before; the consensus was that it is a well made quality knife. Several of the posters were native Canadians; one posts here often.

And you can get them on this side of the border for $124... ;)
 
It is a well made knife,they are made here in Nova Scotia and their line of fixed blades work much better.I do not know why i bought one of these other than to try it out as I couldn't get a drop point 110 .I have tested this knife out side by side with a plain 110 420 hc,If given a choice of 2 grohman folders or 1 buck 110 ,i'll take the 110.Looks nice though.lol

I agree that they are well made. When on vacation, I was able to visit them. When I got to the town, I asked a gas station how I could find them. The guy said, drive until you see a big knife sticking out of a building. Huh???
