What is Your Latest Old Schrade?

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.

Thats a nice knife Tom. Beautiful pickups JohnR. Rescued this Cutco, blades were put up wet and required a lot of cleanup. Handles are good shape though.

ld64, looking good! Those peach seed jigged bone handles look pristine and show little if any use ::tu:: That folder like you said was probably carried once and put away wet :x

My latest oldie is an early 1980s knife built on a much older Schrade Cut Co skeleton. Schrade had a few of these Cut-Co-days 2-1/4" coffin-pattern (lobster) skeletons in storage. They worked with the Shaw-Leibowitz team to create these fine little knives.

I'd say this qualifies as one of the finest Schrade's I own. I purchased it from Charlie (he started this thread) who owned it for many years. It won't be escaping my grasp any time soon. :) Thanks Charlie!

My example is #43
01 S-L lobster, purse, box x1200.jpg
02 mark - closed x1200.jpg
03 pile - closed x1200.jpg
04 top-view x1200.jpg
05 bottom view x1200.jpg
06 open - mark with card x1200.jpg
07 open - pile x1200.jpg

I don't think I've posted these Schrades here that were in the collection of Camillus president Nilo Miori, but then again I can't find my car keys and wallet most days. :D

The 2623 swell-centre with the bow-tie shield really works for me. Outstanding group of old Schrade knives! Interesting back-story too.

Real beauties! Congratulations! ::tu::
Knives like these, even used knives like these are what keeps me from being interested in the new knives available today.

Thanks guys. I only recently started buying older Schrades after carrying a few Old Timers through the years. I guess I have the peach seed fever now.

Old Timers are great, too. I would say that most any Schrade that was made in the USA has a place in my collection. The three you showed are incredibly nce!

Thanks. I agree about the Old Timers. I still have one that a local bank gave my dad years ago, and they were always in a local hardware store display back in the day.
