This knife is OK, the handle feels too thin. I can tell it does not have the american made quality, but it does not have he american made price

This knife is a perfect size to fit in my pocket with all the other stuff I carry daily. It comes sharp enough to cut through most things I require a knife for, and so far seems to hold an edge well. Additionally, the brass ends of this knife are more polished than the ends of my larger but otherwise identical Schrade Bear Paw, which makes for a more pleasing appearance.

Unfortunately, the quality of "Made in China" Schrade knives isn't even near that of the original. I lost my Schrade Brown Bear that I carried for more than 15 years. It was a replacement that I had for my original Schrade that I had another 10 years that I had to return because the locking mechanism broke. The "China" knife has rough edges where the ends meet the wooden center part. Also, the blade even looks cheap. I'm almost afraid to use it for anything except opening envelopes. I guess "you get what you pay for." It was $13.00 +.

I bought two of these lb3 knives to give as gifts to my grandsons.??? The knives I received was very lacking in quality.The wood handle inserts did not fit leaving metal edges showing, and felt too. The rivits were not smooth with the wood handles.One knife had to much blade side play ,and both knives were very hard to open and had a ratcheting feel.The metal edges on the knives was not smoothed and felt sharp.I felt they were very lacking in workmanship .I returned them with exc. service from amazon but would not buy this knife again.If you buy this mdl. I hope the quality is better than the ones I returned. I will say that they are a very pretty little knife and my grandsons would have liked them .I will look for something else though.
