LB5 Smokey Lockback Folding Pocket Knife Brown, 6-1/2"

A new favorite.I’ve been using a smaller version of this knife for years. I think it was the same brand, but I cannot verify. It was a VERY similar design and I could not find any other knife like it except Uncle Henry.I decided to get the larger 2.8 inch blade. I had the smaller 2.2 inch one before that. The 2.8 inch is actually almost too big, but EXCEPTIONALLY useful and covers more of my needs. It is a bit more bulk in my pocket, but that makes it easier to find under my keys and other things.It was SUPER sharp and maintains that sharpness even with cardboard. I sharpened my last one about every 4-6 months. I have not had to sharpen this one yet and it is STILL plenty sharp after 2 months of more than regular use (new toy, what can I say?).This is my daily use knife for opening boxes, cutting odd items, and so on in the computer technician profession.I am VERY happy with my purchase and will likely purchase this one again when needed. I will even consider it for a gift to my friends.

Excellent knife for the price. Keeps its edge; strong lock; easy action. Comes with a leather sheath, but I didn't use it.

Knife arrived sharp, was able to shave off arm hair instantly. Would purchase again

The knife arrived awfully messy but cleaned up really well, now it looks like a classic. Slim, fits easily in a pocket (the best knife is the one you have on you).

The locking feature is easy to use and it works perfectly. The blade is extremely sharp.

Perfect little knife.. the most thin profile of any knife that I own. solid construction, great carrying knife. better than most cheap knives I've seen of like price... great deal. I highly recommend..

Beautiful knife ! Fits well in hand but I wish it was just a little bigger but is just fine how it is. Very sharp and a handy with the nice leather sheath or whatever you call the belt case. My second one . Not because I broke it! I lost the darn thing ! Sat it down somewhere probably because I didn't have a case.

I have ordered a number of larger Schrade knives. I really liked the LB7 "Bear Paw", nearly as much as I like my Buck 110. Well, this little LB5 "Smokey" is the LB7's little brother. It is a really nice size for everyday carrying if you wear a belt sheath. It's not as bulky as a 5" knife, but it gets all the same jobs done. Most of my daily use amounts to opening packages, cutting plastic ties, and other domestic/industrious uses. If you're looking to cut open a deer carcass or gut a fish, you might opt instead for the LB7 or Buck 110. But I just warmed up to this spunky little knife as soon as I opened the package. It is my carrying knife of choice now, unless I go camping or something, then I'll take my Buck. It is also small and light enough to carry in a side pocket of your cargo pants without weighing down your pants, if you didn't want to use the belt sheath.As far as quality goes, the wood grain on the knife I received is a very nice dark cherry finish with darker striations. All the metal bolts and end caps are smooth and flush with the wood handle. It opens and closes better than most other Schrade knives I have purchased from Amazon. I would recommend this knife to any adult who wants an easy-to-carry daily knife. It would also make a perfect gift for an older child/young adult as a first knife, as it is a manageable size for smaller hands.
