Hi

I am a newcomer here so don't hurt me too bad. I have a schrade lb-7 USA made.I called Taylor brands and they will send me a replacement for $6.95. I don't want another knife, especially one from china. Does any one repair these knives?

That depends on what is wrong with it. I can think of a number of problems that could easily cost far more to repair than the market value of the knife. Unless it has great sentimental value, you may be better off searching for a replacement.
 
get a new one :rolleyes:???? i like schrade an all but getting it fixed through them is a bear especially with USA made & not too many custom guys will even touch it.....
I had one and it failed on me, so i pitched it and moved on
 
If you are set on repairing it, you can try the trade portion of the forums and solicit under the Wanted: Knifemaker / Craftsman / Related Services section. Pictures of the damage would help folks in determining the extent of repairs.

The Schrade that made your knife exists no more. Taylor owns the name now, and the old patterns, but they're not even close to being the same knife.

As yab/Jack said, if you want to repair it, chances are it'll cost way more than the knife is worth to repair rather than replace with a new one.

If you want the knife repaired because it has sentimental value to you, and cost isn't an issue, check out the forum Kyui Su Kim mentioned.
 
Thanks for replies.

I will probably try to find an older replacement.The blade just wont' lock unless I really push down hard on it and who would trust that. Not me.

Thanks again

Did you backspring just give out? If you can take it apart, you might be able to cannibalize the spring from one of the Chinese models.
