hello can anyone tell me if this ebay auction 6638337754 is the real mccoy?
thanks Randy
 
Im gonna say no.
I havent seen any LB5's with the tang stamped on the back. Mine are stamped on the front right under the Schrade + and all say USA.
Maybe someone else can add to this. The bone handles looks more like the stuff on the Chinese knives.

The knife shown on E-bay, item number above, posted by w5rwu, is without doubt a Taylor made product, If you have access to a copy of SMKW summer catalogue, they feature on the front cover the LB5 & also the LB7 with the same Buffalo horn scales, the certifcate shown with the knife is also a SMKW
product, which they were giving away with genuine last of the Schrade USA factory buyout knives.

A very unique use of the infamous SMKW 'Final Production Run' certificate: As an item to faciliate fakery. Hey, it has the certificate, so it must be real! But I don't see how anyone can resist bidding, 'cause the seller is including a Gerber tool sheath worth $16.95.
