Those hard to find Old Timers

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.

My new addition arrived yesterday.....
The tang stamp shows "5OT"... just like yours Grant.

I am so excited to be able to add this one to my collection.

Congrats - it's a beauty, and it's definitely the hardest to find Old Timer there is. I have read over the years about the two tang stamps but I still have never seen a pic of a 50OT tang stamp - just the 5OT like you have here.

It almost looks like the "OT" part was there and the "5" was added..... (Just thinking out loud)

Thanks for the complements Jason!
