I have dressed a lot of deer with the Old Timer folding hunter. But I much prefer the Schrade LB7. The lock is more secure and the blade is of better steel.

With an LB7 and the smaller drop point Gerber folder in my pocket, I can skin and make ready to pack, an entire elk with no need to resharpen.

The two LB7's that I own were purchased in 1984 and are very good knives. I have no idea what the quality is today since Schrade, Old Timer, and Uncle Henry are now nothing more than trademarks to be bought and sold as a commodity.


People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
