My latest 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.

Good 'researching'. Likely you do have the 1959 issue knife. Bonite did not last long and most of the ones i have seen show shrinkage at the bolster junctions.

Thanks, Joe. I don't think I have ever seen Bonite so good either. I won't get the knife in the mail until Monday.

I can't choke a good picture out of my camera today, so ta-heck with it. I added to my green Schrade collection with this two knife boxed set containing a 72OT pattern knife and an LB5 pattern. I don't think the guy I bought them from knew there was a sheath underneath the knife tray. I have wondered what the story is on these modified Skoal knives. Now I think I know. The printing on the shipping sleeve for this set says SMK2SK. I'm reading that as, Smokey Mountain Knife 2 Skoal knives. The model numbers for the Skoal knives began with SK and just had Skoal stamped on the tang. Guess I'm not the only one who likes the green knives. I'm fond of those shields too!

Great gifts for the kids! You probably know that there were only 2500 of those made for Montgomery Wards, as a Christmas special offering.

Sorry Adog. I couldn't control my OCD. That's a mighty fine starter kit for young collectors-to-be. Way to go grandpa.

What is the point in this "outburst". The Schrade 18OT had a liner lock, just like the 194OT.
Maybe a photo will help, describe an 18OT a little better.

Very Nice Doug...

I have been trying to find those elusive knives...not much luck though. Guess I am going to have to get serious and put in the time and effort!

By the way....Thank you for the email/Lead

Howdy,
recently picked up a few for cheap ::woot::

top one I gave 4 and a quarter online

the fixed blade I found in a consignment/antique shop for $20. My new camping/"bushcraft" knife ::tu:: Removed the top hand guard. No sheath so using my Ontario pilot knife sheath.

the 89ot was 16.50

and the 94ot was $10

Didn't get 'em all at the same time but over the last couple weeks. There all users.

I hate it when people try to "clean" a knife with sandpaper. Just sell it as is.
I didn't like the mottled patina so I just buffed gently and will work on my own patina.

Love me some Schrades... especially good deals

My favorite brand for 40+ years

I understand what you are saying...most people do more harm than good, but you can do a pretty good restoration with sandpaper if you have the patience. This is a 236 I cleaned up for my collection.
