The LB5 has a 3 ¾” frame and a 2 7/8” clip point whereas it’s bigger brother the LB7 Bear Paw had a 5” frame and 4” clip point blade. The blade is Schrade+ Stainless Steel and comes with a leather belt sheath.

Originally offered with Nickle silver bolsters and liners for 16 years, in 1997 the bolster material of the LB5 was changed to brass to maintain the same look as the brass bolstered LB7. It is reported only 38,000 of the brass bolstered knives were produced from 1996-2002 making them unique.
