75th Anniversary Presentation Knife

Schrade Cutlery Company was founded in 1904 by George Schrade, and his brothers Jacob and William Schrade. In 1946 Imperial Knife Associated Companies, (IKAC; an association of Ulster Knife Co and Imperial Knife Co) purchased controlling interest in Schrade Cut Co and changed the name to Schrade Walden Cutlery. In 1973 the name was changed to Schrade Cutlery. In 2004 Schrade closed due to bankruptcy.

This forum is dedicated to the knives that are the legacy of this company. This forum is not the place to discuss the replica knives currently being imported using the Schrade name.

75th Anniversary Presentation Knife

Post by ozzie marie »

I've been looking for one of these to add to my collection for years now. Finally last week I was lucky enough to acquire one and it arrived yesterday ::nod::

Discription from the Old Timer Almanac dated March 1979

"To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of making high quality knives, Schrade Cutlery will make a limited edition of the $1,000.00 retail knife. This knife illustrated in detail on page 6, will be a deluxe version of the standerd 75th Anniversary knife. It will feature solid sterling silver bolsters, sterling silver shields and liners and custom made craftsmanship throughout to enhance its value.

The finely etched blade will feature the original Schrade factory as it stood in 1904 and Shaw-Leibowitz gold overlay.

Each knife is serilized and comes in a solid walnut gift box with a brief reference to other outstanding events that made 1904 a year of distinction. In addition, the back spring and liners as well as the blade back will be handworked by Herman Williams and Bob Read."


Everything about the knife is incredible including the India Stag handles not mentioned in the description ::ds::
