I thought the LB7 handles were impregnated wood; impregnated with a preservative might make it harder to whittle ?

Re: Schrade stockman w/ wood scales
I think the LB7 scales were stabilized wood. But it ain't nuttin I can't cut with a edge I put on a blade.
Re: Schrade stockman w/ wood scales
The LB7 handles were laminated wood sheets, like plywood but a lot more layers. I've got an untrimmed piece around here somewhere I'll have to dig up. There were a few exceptions like some of the special editions with curly maple, etc.kootenay joe wrote:I thought the LB7 handles were impregnated wood; impregnated with a preservative might make it harder to whittle ?

Re: Schrade stockman w/ wood scales
Schrade did make folding knives for Chicago Cutlery. We now know this includes Camillus and possibly Imperial as the work was sometimes farmed out to one of these other 2 companies likely depending upon work load.
The CC stockman most likely came from Schrade. Some people can differentiate a Schrade from Camillus made knife by the length of the swage on the clip blade. I cannot tell which is which because i collect both.
