What Schrade RARE knife do you have

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.

Thank you. I believe this is the model. I will have to check the closed length and confirm.

Awesome knife JAMESC.

This would be the correct catalog model. The catalog image posted above does not have the saber ground main but it is the same knife otherwise. I believe the 3/8 would be designating the saber clip blade. This is the same frame as the standard size cut cattle knives. It makes for a very pleasing jack knife as well.

Here is one that didn't show up in the Schrade line-up until 1967, but it is pretty rare. Serial #00009, a salesman's sample. Notice the hinged box, the wide stone, and the diagonal sheath strap, all to quickly disappear for the 165OT, which went on to grace the belts of more than a few outdoorsmen.

As per Eric:

There were only twenty five made with the gold bolsters and rifle. I thought that those all had scrolled bolsters in the official version but you might have an extra there that possibly "fell" off the production line before it was engraved. :lol: ::tu::
I think Shaw-Liebowitz did the engraving.

Eric
Pics confirm it was indeed Shaw-Leibowitz who did the blades. ::tu:: Thanks for posting your knife!
