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.

This morning, this pocket knife joined my collection. It's a G. SCHRADE, single blade, cap lifter/bottle opener, all metal, 3" closed, advertising pocket knife.

Here's a BIG Schrade Cut Co Moose/Texas Jack pattern. It's 4.3" long with a frame that tapers similar to that 804 up above. This one isn't in any of the catalogs.

That is a most excellent find Jason. Well done! I have only seen a couple of those.
It is in the 1938 catalog supplement, but only as a pattern number and no image.

I've got one of those as well with the same shield. I had a hard time finding in the catalog too. I think I skimmed over it three times while looking for the actual image of the moose version. Finally found it when I spotted the stockman with the same shield and size and read that description:
One that's a REAL mystery to me is this Ulster moose. It's a four inch knife, likely based on the 80 pattern stockman. I've never seen another like it nor have I seen one in a catalog. This is the only pic I have of it, alongside the Schrade:

- Thanks for that, I never would have found it for the same reason Eric said - I was only looking for a pic that matched. It's nice to have the pattern number now.

I guess I need to share this old Schrade Walden on in this thread.
Interesting thing to me but really just coincidental, the tang stamp is the one from 1946, my birth year to 1973 our 1st born"s birth year. The knife could be as young as 48 years old or as old as 75.

Narrowing it down a little bit more, your horticultural knife with that tang stamp would be about 1952 to 1962.
Appreciate that information.

The Great Eastern Rendezvous was good for picking up some very nice vintage knives also. 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

Two wonderful knives! Early jack with the rare sheepfoot main and the late peachseed with bullocks shield. Love those grinds. Just great stuff!
Cal, thank you for correcting me on the shield, I looked around for the correct name and missed it.

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 That folder like you said was probably carried once and put away wet
