Re: the Schrade LB7 w/ broken liner. 
.
If the blade's in good shape .. you might be able to save that toward another LB7 w/ a used up blade. Sorry about the broken liner .. I think your out of luck on that one. On the 'bay .. used one's in good shape can be had in the 20~25 range.

And while I'm on a roll, the other question is about a broken liner on an LB7 Schrade.  Are there any replacement liners that can be accessed for this knife and is it worth repairing, other than the practice, that is.  Pics attached, thanks to D ale's instruction.  All opinions appreciated.

?? does the gap close up if you squeeze the effected area of the knife between your finger & thumb ??
.
Good & useful pics !

Comment by Bruce Zenge on December 6, 2019 at 15:53

Gonna add another couple.  First one on the first reply shows the general condition of the knife.  Seemed like a good investment at the time...

Comment by Bruce Zenge on December 6, 2019 at 15:43

OK, here we go.  I can post more if it will help but thought this may get it started.

D ale,

I will do that, but will have to take the picture first, Duh.  I will try to get that done after I finish a couple of other little chores.  Thanks.

... 'n welcome to the "Repair & Mod" group, Bruce !!!
.
As we all know .. pearl is rather fragile. If you'd post a pic of the existing gap between the pearl & the liner .. it would help toward proceeding w/ suggestions.
.
Enjoy,

D ale
