And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I used my LB7 once like that in Mexico. We ordered food at a little place, and the steak came out hot. I tried to cut it with the steak knife, but it wouldn't. I pulled the old LB7 out, and it did pretty quick. That Schrade could shave. The meat was a different texture than any I'd ever eaten... smooth grained. I chewed till my jaw was tired... I don't know what it was. An old plow horse, three legged dog, or maybe just bush meat.
In the late 1980s, our Teledyne Exploration oil search ship Gary Chouest had our first visit to Den Helder, Netherlands, where we ordered a few boxes of steaks from the ship chandler. These were the toughest steaks any of us had ever encountered - regular steak knives couldn't touch them. Out came the Buck folders... Shout out to Party 727.
I’m going with the Buck 110 based on the four pins in the wood. I confiscated a couple of them from East LA gang juvies back in the ‘70s. Told them to have their parents pick them up at the station. They still haven’t shown up.
The blade sure looks like a 110. I'm sitting here with my 110 and the big difference I see in this knife and the one I'm holding is the pins in the brass butt. My knife has the two pins less than a 1/4" from the bottom. The pins in this picture look to be about 3/4 " from the bottom. Might just be a difference in the year they were made. Ich weiss nicht.
Good eye but I am currently restoring an A110 and mine only has 2 holes. Any info on what year that would make it would be greatly appreciated. It went through a house fire. Steel is good after file test
I use the measuring device in my belly. When it's full, I've had enough. Until such time, keep em coming.

ReplyDeleteI carried one for many years. I believe the edges on the brass and wood are not rounded enough to be a LB7. JMO.
ReplyDeleteInteresting placement of the Argentine Mauser.
