Any Schrade guys here seen an LB8 with the LB8 designation stamped on the opposite side of the blade instead of under the Schrade + stamp? I'll post pics if you want to see it.
 
I haven't seen an LB8 like that, but I just won an LB7 on ebay that appears to have the entire tang stamp, including the SCHRADE +/USA on the opposite side. Haven't received it yet, but it definitely intrigued me. Please post some pics.

I have an LB7 the same which I showed previously. I think the consensus then was that the Uncle Henry on that run of blades was mis-stamped so low on the tang that the bolster would hide the model number and that a production line decision would have been made to simply stamp the respective LB7 USA or LB8 USA on the reverse rather than "second" the lot.
