Schrade Congress

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.

I can't think of one off the top of my head, but I would imagine Schrade Cut Co likely did, I am just not familiar enough with all their patterns to say yea or nay.

Phil,

Here are two of mine. The lighter peachseed jig bone is a Schrade Cut Co and the darker jig bone is a Shapleigh DE Hardware Co but Schrade made.

Schrade Walden made the smaller versions later on. A 974 and 774.

Boy those are nice - Phil, you've got some pursuing to do!

Sorry for the 3 month "late" response to your Schrade Congress question Phil.
If you still have an interest, I hope this helps.
The below pics are all of the Schrade Cutlery Co. Congress pattern knives listed in their 1926 catalog to include the supplements for: 1928-30-32-34-36-38.
I have the 1971 A.G. Russell reprint of the 1926 catalog.
I included the entire page that listed all the Congress patterns throughout the 108 page catalog.

I've always liked the appearance of Keen Kutters logo as a shield.

I read somewhere that Keen Kutters trademark shield is supposed to represent the tooth of a saw blade cutting through a board.

Would the 44ot be considered a congress pattern?...always wondered about that.

I would think not since it does not have the typical half moon shape handle of a congress. But that's just my personal assumption.

Some great knives shown here. These are my SW 773 and 774. The 773 was difficult to find in unused condition. The 774 is the same knife pictured in Sargents book. It came from the factory collection.
