Schrade Collectors

Many people collected Schrade knives over the years. Almost everyone had to have a Schrade. Much has changed, but they still make Schrade Knives and now they are coming out with new steels and new handle materials.

So old fan or new collector, Lets talk about Schrade!

New Stewart Taylor Schrades

Hi fellow Schrade Collectors.  My question is, who has purchased any of the new Schrades made by Stewart Taylor, and were they worth buying ? Please tell me what model you bought and where it was bought if  possible. I have only collected the old Scrades so far, but I am interested in how the company does now .

    My immediate response would be the LB7
    This knife has been around for years and I know I had one in Junior High as well. That would put it aproximately 1975. I need to get into my Schrade files and determine the first year that the LB7 was produced.

    I will get back to you.

    It looks like 1973

    Thanks, Tom.
    I must be wrong about when I picked up my first one. Maybe it was a scout type knife I carried in Jr. High, and the first couple years of High School. I don't **think** I carried the military surplus Ontario 499 "Jet Pilot Survival Knife" to school ... I may have though.
    The 1973 introduction of the LB7 makes sense. Buck's 110 patent would have expired that year, I think.
    Oh well. I've always been happy with my LB7's, 6OT's and 7OT's.
    I did not even get my first Buck 110 until 2015, and I'm still just as likely to have the Schrade on my belt as the Buck for months at a time.
