Parker Frost display board?

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.

Parker Frost display board?

Post by Jcj02 »

Can anyone help me with a display board I found. I like it for the history alone but also am not into overpaying when there's more to buy. It's a Parker Frost Eagle Series display sample board with about 20 knives mint condition including paperwork (I haven't got to see papers yet) I am unsure of Years but it being the American eagle line would anyone have idea if it's a desirable piece? A somewhat value on it? Anything and thanks ahead of time

I am not positive, but most of the knives in that series appear to be Schrade or Imperial patterns.
LG4 lists 3 sets Schrade made for Parker but not this set.

I'd say that this display board is from the late 1970's. I've owned and sold most of those patterns and that was the time frame on them. Values are whatever the buyer places on them. Most of the knives I've sold were from $25 to $45 ea. If you are thinking of purchasing them you'd better get that Christmas Tree Gunboat out of there quickly. It is already starting to outgas and it will ruin the other knives as well.

I've seen those called a salesman's sample board..if the display is correct, all the bone handled knives will have matching serial numbers on the front bolster. The pile side of the tang is stamped 1978-2-3-4-or 5 ,depending on the model, over SCHRADE. The Delrin handled knives will be stamped likewise. Two knives that seem fairly rare and IMO belong with the set are the Kentucky and Tenessee Stockmans in stag. Both of those knives have the pile side tang stamp 1978-1 over SCHRADE. I would advise that you get some good pics of both sides of the bone handled knives before purchasing the set. I collected quite a few of those knives and it amazed me how many had mismatched scales, different jigging, and quite often were very faded on the display side scale.
