[BUCK 110] versus the [SCHRADE LB7] - Knife Restoration

[@bobgartin4165]

Beautiful work!!! I love these old Bucks and Schrades. Have carried one or the other over many, many years and miles. Never let me down!

[@BigHarryBalzac]

I have a vintage Schrade LB7 Uncle Henry Bear Paw. My parents gave me and my younger brother each one as Christmas presents. I think it was over 45 years ago. Mine is really grungy looking from being stored in the sheath which I knew I shouldn't have done. I'll be cleaning it up with fine steel wool soon, and working some oil into the pivot because it's kind of stiff. I've never been able to sharpen it very well and it's extremely dull right now. I must have quit using it when it quit cutting, and put it away. I'll have to try sharpening it again. It's nice to see these old knives when they're fixed up.

insane work son. got into rudimentary knife making a few years back. ironwood can be rough to work with sometimes. had to quit my knife making hobby because my wife wasn’t crazy about the forge in the living room. women are funny about such things!

[@cj_m2477]

Both knives are absolutely stunning!! Well done Kyle!

[@Wcquick]

Another wonderful restoration video and lesson in metallurgy

[@famasmaster2000]

Wow, just beautiful. Your skills are becoming so honed and natural !! Stupendous work !!!!!

[@iansorenson4630]

Fabulous finishes.👍

[@andrewzach1921]

Nice rebuilds there Kyle, thanks for the video.

[@bobdayton9608]

Nice work, but I would have requested presentation grade of desert ironwood on the LB7. Makes all the difference, especially, when you do that much work on the knife. Thanks for the video.

[@clintonroushff7068]

The LB7 came out very nice. The owner should be mighty pleased, something to keep in the family.

[@roydoucet7697]

Amazing work as always

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Wow, those turned out great! Thanks for sharing the video!

[@kathleensmith370]

you are a real amazing craftsman

[@sonnyrobinson3701]

Great skills that reflect your talent with the end product. Liked your grinding the head down on the pins to remove the scales, which I wondered how to replace the scales since no torx screws like in modern folders.

[@AndrexT]

Nice job Kyle. I love working with Brass. I have a mint Schrade with Ivory scales that came from the factory sell off, new in box and also a funky tiny knife of theirs.

[@rayleder3705]

Awesome!!! Thanks for showing the steps. Incredible work you do.

[@richardweilandt3315]

Those look awesome bud. I have Buck 110's and 112's and a old old LB7 I bought back in 77 from a buddy of mine. I also have a Schrade Golden Bear with Desert Ironwood feather scales. Absolutely Gorgeous knife. I like the owners decision to go with the ironwood.

[@alansandybulmer4877]

Skills Kyle. Great watch.

[@bigrube420ify]

Kyle those knives turned out absolutely fantastic. I'd love you to do some work on my buck 110

[@tobinlakeguideservices]

Again , very nice work Kyle

[@FreeAmericaChannel]

Beautiful work, Kyle. You are a true artist.

[@jeffpeters4497]

I just found your channel and that was a great video! I agree with you on the LB7 being a better knife than the 110, at least back in the 70's and 80's anyway. Back then the LB7 had a better handle with rounded edges with the 110 having sharp squared edges, the LB7 also had flush pins with the 110 having proud pins that made hot spots when using, and lastly the LB7 to a better edge and held it longer than the 110, at least of the ones that I had.

[@wde1978]

Absolutely gorgeous knives. Great work.

[@thomastommy1192]

Awesome great job. You made those knives very beautiful. Too beautiful to use. Which Buck Knife has the thickest and best metal in the blade? I have several Buck 110s and two 112s. I sent the two 112s back to Buck factory and had them cleaned up and new blades put in them. The brass on one was messed up from years of use and abuse. But it looks good the brass will never be like new again. Awesome great video & job on the knives. Thumbs up many times to your videos.

[@Sanctified_Leather]

Absolutely 👍 amazing 🤩 great job 👏

[@richardvirchow3390]

Beautiful work, Kyle! Well done..!

[@MrEric0822]

You are so talented, brother. I really enjoy watching your expertise, despite it making me feel less of a man each time. :)

[@johnconklin5180]

Looks good

[@danpost4755]

Excellent work as always, Kyle!

[@MrKainop]

Отличная работа!

[@richterknives]

great video bud

[@twatmunro]

I learned that I don't like purple curly maple on a Buck 110.

[@uk6928]

Awesome

[@branned]

Amazing! Your skill makes the Knife Doctor (who I do follow) look like an amateur😉😉

[@mikehilliard3229]

Epoxy only, Ugh. Brass brasing rods work well for pins.

[@larrywillis9589]

I think the Bear and Sons folding hunter is as good Or better

[@jeffreycurtisjr9195]

Can your service my dads LB7

[@richbutler7828]

Buck always had there blades outsourced mostly made by Camillus but now since they went belly up wonder who is making them for buck now. Schrade U.S.A. LB7's were 100% made by Imperial Schrade Corp.

[@terrillschneider3778]

I’m going to watch this one in bed later

[@sic-n-tiredtired4273]

Absolutely Amazing job very impressive. How much does something like this cost to get done ? I have the same problem with my Lb 7. And it could definitely use some magic that you performed
