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.

Here's an interesting variant of the 194OT I grabbed a couple of months ago. I'm wondering if anyone has seen one of these before and knows when or if it was produced for sale. My web searches have shown no results.

I believe that it has been modified by an owner or acquaintance.

Just picked up this Schrade 735 to add to my marlin spike collection I am putting together.
I believe the knife was produced in the early '70's (but I am still doing research to be sure)

Schrade stopped using their WALDEN tang stamp pretty much sometime in the year 1973.

Thank you for that info, I was able to download a series of Schrade / Schrade Walden catalogs by year - it appears that the 735 switched from a wire type bail to a spike locking bail around 1961. So my knife could be quit a bit older than I first thought.

I haven't followed this pattern but perhaps someone else will chime in. The first Delrin factory in the world was built in 1960. By 1962 many knife manufacturers were using this plastic as covers. If the word WALDEN does not appear on the tang of the knife it was manufactured in 1973 or later.

Very recently, this pocket knife arrived and it now becomes the latest example to join this topic or thread and to join my general pocket knife collection. It came in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I was and am delighted to have it, but I did not buy the group or lot for this particular pocket knife. It is a SCHRADE, 8OT, three blades, one tang stamp, 3 15/16" closed, advertising or commemorative, stockman style pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "SCHRADE (over) U.S.A. 8OT" The main handle side says "INGERSOLL RAND - 125 YEARS OF QUALITY & - PERFORMANCE" with an 1871 - 125 - 1996 shield. The other handle side says "THE CLASSIC - IR231" and "THE CLASSIC IR231 - THE GOLD STANDARD - FOR 25 YEARS" It is numbered 08379 on the bolster. According to Jason (jxr1197), in a previous post (with a picture) under this topic or thread, these pocket knives were packaged with a special edition impact gun. It is in EXCELLENT condition. This pocket knife needed absolutely no cleaning at all. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

That is a good one Skip!
I THINK I might have one of those also.

Every time I find a variation of the 8OT or the 34OT I try to add it to my collection.
You gotta love those Old Timers!

Got this nice Schrade 893 off Ebay the other day. Didn't even know an 893 existed. Very nice condition.

Dale Vincent spent a lot of time and effort to compile a research list of Schrade patterns. Go to Research at the top of your page and scroll down to Schrade catalog lists of patterns and their descriptions.
You can also spend a few weeks here:

I like that X-Timer,
Schrade was starting to produce some good work / user knives from 2000-2004.
I do not have one of those... Ken.

Between 2000 and 2003, Schrade started to make some nice tools.
