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.

Picked up these 2 Schrade Cut Co's, a 3 1/4" pick bone sheepsfoot jack and a trapper with a corset shield, not as common as the ones with other shields. Both knives in very good condition
Excellent finds John.

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.
I don't always respond to great posts but I always appreciate seeing them. Thanks for posting! ::tu::

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.

Oh, no! You are not done until you move one my way. And I know which one. Are you the famous guy on the 'other' forum?

I'm not a famous guy on any forum. My kids liked me for a while, but then they grew up! I can't send you that knife until I'm done baton testing it.

Mike, a fantastic group of vintage Schrades, absolutely top notch.

Picked up a decent Schrade Cut Co equal end in stainless steel this week.

Very nice. The equal end jack is such a good-looking pattern!

Thank you all ::tu:: ::tu:: . Was happy to add this one to the collection, only the second stainless steel marked knife I've come across. Interestingly enough the first one I found is marked with a single S while the new one has a double S.

Not in John's league, but this Old Crafty is a nice Walden era stockman.
