Got a 4 pin carbon steel one in fair shape for my father in law to clean up. Good stocking stuffer. I liked it so much I thought of getting one for myself. Hard to find the USA made ones but they seem to be more abundant than the LB8 and less pricey. One thing I've noticed while looking at the 7OT's is that the Chinese made ones have smaller diameter rivets holding the derlin handle to the frame. Small detail that I picked up just looking on the bay. Don't want to use my LB8.
 
There are several nice 7OTs for sale on the bay now at (currently) reasonable prices, although not sure about the carbon steel. Don't know where they will end up, but reasonable right now. Same can be said for the 6OT and LB7. You just have to weed through the China crap to find the good stuff, but it will be worth it. You won't be disappointed.
