Schrade LB 1 Cub Lockback Pocket Knife

Schrade + LB 1 Cub Lockback Pocket Knife

The Schrade Cub is a 2 1/4" closed, mini folding hunter pattern, lockback knife with hard wood scales and lanyard shackle.  The Schrade + stainless steel clip blade is tang stamped "Schrade + U.S.A. LB1".  This popular knife was made in the Ellenville, New York factory before Schrade shut down.  The Cub was a very popular knife even before Schrade closed.  Now collectors are making sure they have a nice example of this one.  Users are grabbing them up knowing that there will be no more of these small, lightweight, yet rugged pocket tools.

This one has been carried but used very little.  The blade is unsharpened and shows only a very few wisps of surface scratches from use.  The blade locks up tight as a drum with no wiggle at all in the joint.  The Rosewood scales are free of any cracks or chips and are very attractive with no scars or scratches.  The bolsters show coin nicks and rubs from carry.  The shackle is solid, tight, and moves freely.  It has a small bend but functions well and is attractive.  I can grade this one in Excellent condition.  It will make a nice display piece or provide many years of reliable service. 

These are getting more scarce as time goes by.  Buy this nice knife now for only $29.95
