LB7 Bear Paw Traditional Lockback Pocket Knife with 3.7in Clip Point High Carbon S.S. Blade, Wood Handle, Brass Bolsters, and Leather Belt Sheath for EDC, Hunting, Camping, and Outdoors

Good knife for the money. Feels and looks just like the knife it was designed after, good ergos, sharp right out of the box. Strong lockup. It you don't have the $ to spend on a 110, this version is a nice option for much less money.

Bought 2 of these and gave one to my nephew for his 1rst pocket knife and he liked it. I like it cause its like my 1rst knife that had the same style locking mechanism and schrade are good quality knives. I've lost a few but never broke one and I'm hard in knives

I also have a Buck 110, of which this is almost a clone. I have to say the Buck is a bit nicer, better fit and finish. The Uncle Henry is nice but one of the rivets is proud of the handle and has a burr I will have to file down. Also the Buck is a tad wider, and has a teeny bit more heft which is nice. The sheath for the Uncle Henry is looser so the knife rattles around in it. However the blades seem almost identical. I think for the money the Uncle Henry is a pretty descent knife.

My knives are not, generally, put to very rugged use so I cannot speak to that aspect but, overall, as a substitute for a real Buck at 2x+ the price, I am very satisfied with this knife. It seems pretty hefty to me and all of the joint tolerances on this particular knife are tight. I did read a lot of the reviews prior to pulling the trigger on buying. To address some of the comments: 1) One will never be able to open this knife with one hand. However, with the exception of some friction when depressing the unlock, the action is smooth 2) I put a VERY small drop of WD40 at the unlock button and on the blade axle where it rotates. Added a VERY small amount of lithium grease at the blade lock point (where is raises to release the blade) in an attempt to reduce the friction when unlocking. 3) The knife does rattle around in the sheath. Added some felt which solved the problem and will also keep the back of the snap from scratching the knife. Used a very small amount of shoe goo for the felt glue as it remains flexible and will not soak thru the felt when glued. 4) The sheath is very stiff and the leather is cheap "bonded" at the best (not top or full grain) but some mink oil or sno seal melted in with a hair dryer should keep it adequately nice. Overall, I am happy with the $28 purchase and recommend the knife for those who don't want to spend the $65 for a Buck 110 and there's no apparent reason why this knife should not last a long time with reasonable use and care. I will update the review should any issues appear down the road.

Fit and finish poor. The blade open and close mechanism catches. Not smooth at all. Half way thru closing you have to use two hands to force it. Knife is not even a close second to the US made LB7. See the photos. One photo shows a comparison of my three knives: a new Buck 110, US made 1990 LB7 and finally the foreign made LB7 I just received from Amazon. Notice the fit and finish between the middle US Made LB7 and the new Amazon LB7. The old US LB7 is just like the Buck. Tight metal everywhere, tight tolerances no gaps in the metal. Now look at the third new knife. Large seams in the metal where there shouldn’t be Seams. This means trapped dirt, moisture and rust will happen easily on the new cheap foreign made knife. Also note the new US made Buck and 1990 US made LB7 open and close smooth as can be. The new foreign LB7 gets stuck half way n you have to force it. You can hear when it sticks where the metal scrapes. Even though new it could be rust already formed due to the gaps. Now also note the new LB7 is half the thickness of the old US LB7. Feels a lot cheaper and weaker in the hand. Not lighter due to space age modern materials. It seems to actually have inferior metals lower quality than the Buck or US made LB7. Finally when you compare the pins that hold the knife together compared to the old ones, the pins look like they are a much smaller diameter and may be just brass pins holding it together where the old US knife and the US Buck have a bit larger diameter steel pins. When you hold the new US made Buck and old US made Shrade Uncle Henry LB7 you think of a full field full use knife that will last your lifetime. But when you hold the foreign made Amazon knife, you think “ok this knife maybe could be used to open Amazon packages for a year and then it will give out”. But, it sure is pretty. Maybe I got a bad one? Maybe other good reviews on this knife aren’t real? Or maybe folks just don’t have real quality knives to compare it too. Oh final note. The blade. The blade takes a lot more to sharpen and get sharp than the old US LB7 and new Buck LB7. But it does get very sharp like the other two. On a positive note. The knife is pretty and my wife said it fits her hands better than the other knives. She was into it, til she saw the gaps and how it didn’t close as smoothly as the others. ***just changed my review from 2 to 3 stars***. Why? Price. As of this review 2022 price was $18 on Amazon. If you are looking for a well made smooth old school folding knife like the US made Buck and LB7 this knife isn’t it. But….once opened it is, a knife w a blade. The open and close sticks. But in the end, and after you sharpen it (which takes a bit more than the US versions) it is sharp. It does it’s job. It is also almost half the weight of the US made knives and half the width (smaller good, cheaper materials bad). So if you think of it as it’s own standalone knife, you pick up cheap for $18, its a good value knife. It’s pretty. It’s sharp. It opens, not well. It closes, not well. But once open, it’s a knife. If you want a Buck 110 (all US made) or want to duplicate the old LB7 US knife, this isn’t even close to the elegance, durability and functionality. Would I buy this knife again? Yes. It’s a knife where if I forget to take it out of my luggage when flying and the TSA confiscated it…O’well it was just a cheap PRC knife. If I lost my Buck or US LB7 I might just cry. Best to have a knife who’s loss won’t make you cry. This knife won’t make you cry. :)

I put a thumpscrew ( Temu ) on it for e one handed open. This knife is awesome! I've owed a few od the LB7 'S. These are my fav daily carry. Heavy - sharp - The new LB8 IS FLASHY. JUST WISH IS WAS DEER ANTLER.. BUT IT'S OK AS IS. IT'S A NICE PIECE

With a decent amount of care this knife should last the average person a long time. Even a Buck blade will break if you try to use it as a screwdriver! I know, I have done it! I would love to buy strictly US made products. Buck, like General Motors and LL Bean have priced themselves out of the market that MADE them! Shame on THEM! Good Luck, God Bless!

So far this knife is well beyond anything I was expecting. Not sure if I just got lucky but some of the reviews I'd read had me worried about this purchase.im starting to think it's just bots or mindless drones who can't except you get the same if not better quality of the buck 110 at half the price and they can't except it's made in China. Bucks 420hc isn't all that and this steel is equivalent in real world use. It's 7cr but heat treatment seems excellent. Sheath is 100% better than bucks. If your on the fense get it and see for yourself.

Ótimo.

Estaba dudoso en quitarle una estrella o no por cuestión del acabado del cuchillo y del estuche, pero no vale la pena castigar tan buen producto por una cuestión estética que se puede arreglar con una simple lija y un pedazo de cuero. El filo de la navaja tal y como viene en la caja es impecable. Está muy bien hecha y balanceada. Mi nota sobre el acabado es que está tan bien pulido que el bronce se torna iridiscente después de un rato de manejo. Se soluciona dejando un acabado mate con una lija de grado 400. El asunto con el estuche es que la navaja queda muy floja dentro. Se soluciona con un simple pedazo de piel o de neopreno para la navaja no baile dentro del estuche.

Das Messer ist sehr sauber gearbeitet und hat keinerlei Klingenspiel .Die Klinge ist sauscharf ,die Griffbacken sind kratzfrei und blank poliert.Insgesamt gefällt es mir besser als das Buck 110 ,halber Preis ,leichter weil etwas schmaler ,liegt einfach angenehmer in der Hand .Tasche ist gut genäht und mit dicken , braunen Leder gearbeitet .Ich bin wirklich sehr angenehm überrascht . Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung .5 Sterne-Taschenmesser. MfG Frank

箱出し時の切れ味以外は概ね満足しています。比較対象がBuck110なので辛口批評になりましたが良いナイフです。

Allerdings klemmt meins bisschen beim schließen.
