(Dealer I bought this from called it "the rarest schrade". I now know it's not but...)
I just bought a custom "LTD" etched LB-7 raffled off at the February 2000 Ducks Unlimited Minnesota State Convention from a dealer in that State. He says he purchased a collection of knives and that the collector likely bought it from the person who won it in 2000. I find this gold etched, blued, black delrin handled knife to be exceedingly beautiful and I would love to know more about it specifically. Were there approx. 50 of these made in "2000" (1999 seems more likely than in Jan of 2000 if ya get right down to it)or was a different custom design offered to The DU State Conventions in other parts of the USA ? Basically my question is: Is this a true one-of-a-kind or are there another 50 out there with different States written on the pile-side handle? Either way, I love this knife. Dave p.s. If anyone who worked at the Imperial Schrade factory around 1999-2000 is out there and remembers this custom I would really love to hear what you have to say. Unlikely perhaps but I have to ask. Thanks!
