I couldn't agree more, although I haven't found an LB5 yet, the LB7 and 7OT I've got have such a solid feel to them. I noticed that on the 7OT the locking lug slot in the tang is about twice as long as the 110 I have. And while not quite as big as the 7OT, the LB7' is a bit bigger than the 110 as well. Talk about over built:thumbsup:

Great 'ol Smith&Wesson there! My Dad has S&W. Drop point fixed blade from that era, beautifully finished. S&W knives I've seen from the 80's were very well built. Glad you found an old friend, still got the wheel gun?

Still have almost all my guns but that one got away :(
 
I understand, due to my current legal status I can't have any:( ( I'm looking into my options about getting those rights back, so its all good) and I've had many good ones come and go. That's one of the reasons I've started collecting pocket knives in earnest. I've always been the knife knut in my circles anyways lol.

Wishing you the best of luck, David. A man's got a right to protect himself and his loved ones.
 
Prester John Prester John Thanks and very true, it is possible to regain long gun rights, bit of red tape,and of course fees to be paid. To be quite honest, its squirrel hunting I miss the most, especially this time of year. In fact I went googling to find a knife my Dad likes to use for hunting, just because I've seen him dress so many squirrels with it. I would have sworn it was a small lockback, but its not. Its a Parker Frost "Lil' Bandit" his has natural colored smooth bone covers. 80's vintage, actually quite a nice knife.I've also seen it take the back legs off many a frog.

I wonder who made her and her smaller siblings.

From what I read, most older ones were made by Camillus or Queen. Newer ones w/o a full set of pins are said to be Bear. I am pretty sure the double lock back trapper was made by Camillus, IIRC Camillus had a patent.

I am sorry, Moore Maker's double lockback is different than yours. It's got side by side spey and clip blades together with one pivot. The opening levers are at the same end, with one at the very butt (like a 110) and the second begins a little bit past the lever at the butt.
