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.

Well I'm new here so I hope I'm posting in the right place and that you can see the attachments. I got this knife in a batch of TSA knives and I can't identify it. It's an Imperial Prov RI camper style knife with sheep foot blade and a screw driver blade. Drop me a line if you know what this is. Thanks

Dave

So I've been pretty good lately but this 861 showed up on ebay and I couldn't help but send an offer. Got it for a great price.

Somewhere along the line it had a bad sharpening job, even touched a grinder, but I got that straightened out and will now carry it occasionally. Thankfully they didn't scratch up the blades terribly. Really snappy and smooth as butter, just so well made. It's a nice supplement to the one I have that is in perfect condition.

Scott, that’s a nice one! I’ve been gathering up several of those for a special nephew. He’s close to 50 and has carried the same 3 OT since school. Needless to say the little knife is well used. He asked if I could find a real one, not China made. I didn’t realize what a comfortable little carry they are. I scratched around and found 3, one for him and one each for his preteen sons.

I bought this one from a member here. It is very unique in that the blades are very different from each other; not in their shape, but in their interface. One blade has a long pull; the other a nail nick. The nail nick has a halfstop; the long pull does not. And they both use the same back spring. Why??? I don’t know ::shrug::
I know that the later models of this pattern have nail nicks on both blades with no halfstops...just weird, but very cool.

The last digit is the handle material and I think yours is plastic so it would be C2154-3/4AC, but typically the AC knives were smooth. I don't know that there was ever a digit for jigged/molded plastic. Maybe someone else will know ::shrug:: .

I think you are right about the number C2154-3/4AC. I noticed that one side of the main blade is crocus polished while the other side has a not so polished finish.

That is a real beauty Paul, congratulations!

Don't think I posted this celluloid Cut Co Stockman here yet, not showing much use.

Thanks for taking the time to post your oldies!

It took me over ten years to land a near-mint 1946 Fortune magazine knife at an affordable price.

Later that day, I bought the original December 1946 Fortune magazine for the ad. "Crisp, not read" condition. The only damage is on the front cover.

Paul and John, those are both magnificent cells. I just got an old 880 Kon-Kav, with a marvelous convex job by the previous owner-- super sharp!
