Schrade 88LH "Longhorn" Stockman

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.

Schrade 88LH "Longhorn" Stockman

Post by DR_MAGOO »

Picked this up yesterday in a trade at The Knife Shoppe monthly (First Saturday of the Month) Swap & Tell Ooltewah, TN.

Can anyone provide any information on it? There is a number on the bolster and the display plaque is plastic.

Yes, it appears to be Delrin or some kind of synthetic. Definitely not bone.

You pretty much know all there is to know about it.

Nickel bolsters, brass liners and sawcut ivory/white delrin with a "longhorn" shield and blade etch.

Released in 1975, as far as I've been able to find there were "premier" versions that were serialized, and came with the plaque, and "standard" version released without the serial number (as I have a version without a serial number and plaque - all other markings identical) probably in box form. It's an attractive knife, especially if you like cows :D

These are a couple of pics from my photo files. They are not mine and were snatched off of ebay for interest sake. I can't say if the brown box is original to the complimentary knife. But probably, since it was a Schrade giveaway.
