Welcome Kevin,

The LB7 "Bear Paw", "The Ultimate Lockback" was Schrade's take on the Buck 110. It was first made in 1977 but 1978 is when they really started to sell a lot of them. It was even advertised on TV during the Super Bowl iirc. "As Seen On TV" was part of what was the biggest knife marketing campaign ever. The blade is made from 440A stainless, the handles are "Wondawood" and they are all-round awesome so there are lots of folks who collect them. The number of these knives made grew into the millions by 2004 but they were only serial numbered for the first so many years. http://www.collectors-of-schrades-r.us/FLYERS/SC-1973-1979/pages/SC-77-18.htm

Serial numbers and years? Here's all you can handle lol: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/457058-LB7-Bear-Paw-LB-Survey?highlight=lb7+serials

Schrade also made a billion "fancier" variations of this knife to keep us collectors obsessed, here's a few of those:
