Starting out buying an older Buck 110. Had one many years ago and lost it. While reading about 110s on this site , I read that Schrade LB7s were often compared and actually preferred by some. Bought a new LB7 (China of course) and started thinking if I really wanted to compare a 110 and a LB7, I needed a US made LB7. Found a good dea on our favorite auction site and made a purchase. All three knives will arrive by Tuesday. I was surprised at the prices on vintage US made LB7s. Still very reasonably priced as are vintage 110s. Must be millions in circulation after 30 years. No more knife purchases !
