LB7 Bear Paw

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

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.

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.

Unbelievable price, quality and service

If you've handled ones from 20 years ago, you can expect the same quality now, blade has held up well, size is good, mine came in a useful case... The quality of the case isn't the same as the older, allows the knife to bounce around inside far too much so expect it to get scuffed. Overall the knife functions as expected, the metal holds a sharp edge very well.

This knife is excellent quality and is very solid, blade is perfect

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. :)

This knife is perfection. In my opinion better than a Buck knife of the same design. The finishing is amazing for the money! Very smooth, gentleman style. Great value for under $30.00 dollars? Wow.

PRODUTO EXCELENTE 👏🏽👏🏽 APENAS ACHEI A BAINHA UM POUCO GRANDE… UMA PENA NÃO SER MAIS PRODUZIDO NOS ESTADOS UNIDOS 🇺🇸 Mas não Estou Arrependido pela Compra , é um Excelente Custo Benefício, O CANIVETE CUMPRE BEM SEU PROPÓSITO ALÉM DE SER BEM BONITO.

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
