Uncle Henry SC705??

Pictures are crap with this guy's listing of a LB8, but you can kinda make out the Scrimshaw tang stamp. A re-blade, or EOD knife? EOD Schrades generally didn't come with shields. At least none that I've seen yet. Maybe a factory mistake? And of course that sheath isn't right either. The seller won't answer any questions about it.

Probably a replacement blade.
It may even have been replaced at the factory & they substituted the SC blade because they had no LB8 blades.

Or it may have been at the factory when it closed and someone bought it and replaced the blade. I have encountered that before.

I constantly look for LB series blades. In the 12 years since Schrade closed I have seen one LB8 blade for sale, and it was used. The LB8 was discontinued on 2000. All the replacement blades may have been used up before Schrade closed in 2004.

Did anybody else notice the sheath has no loop? It may be a current production china sheath, it doesn't have the rich darker coloring like usa ones I've seen.

You're right.
Not showing the tang stamp or showing blurry tang stamps is a tactic some sellers have used to pass off a Chinese knife as an American made one.

Oh wow, I didn't notice the no loop. Didn't those have that X loop? I don't even see marks where the rivets could have been.
