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.

Today I add this pocket knife to my "South Of The Border" collection. This pocket knife "brand" is part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico story/connection. But this specific "brand" of pocket knife does NOT make an appearance that often. The only other example of this particular pocket knife that I've seen, so far, is a picture of the one that Jason (jxr1197) has. It's a PM ATLAS, 2 blade with cap lifter/bottle opener, horses on the handles, pocket knife. It has a bail also. PM ATLAS is etched/stamped into the cap lifter/bottle opener part/tang of the blade. Although it really doesn't look it, the main color of the handles is a dark blue. It required very little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

PM Atlas (Productos Metalicos Atlas - or Atlas Metal Products) was a business in Monterrey MX that bought knives either from the Associated Spring version of Imperial Mexico or from Cuchilleria Monterrey, maybe both. All of the ones I have come across either have a horse or a deer on them.

It's the only one I've ever seen. They trademarked the name in Mexico in 1947 but I don't believe they ever used it. This one comes from the Imperial sample room in Providence. The 'O' is rubbed off the end - it's Marca Martillo, or Hammer Brand in Spanish.

Here's my contribution to this thread. I've had this since the mid 80's. I remember that because I bought it in Mexico and smuggled it back across the border in my shoe, LOL.

That had to be uncomfortable...but worth it!
This is the oddest Imperial Mexico associated tang stamp I have. One blade has a crown & cross with a deep RANCHERO etch and the other blade is simply stamped FOREIGN. I think they were trying to come up with something that could work universally. You could export to any country with the knife telling everyone it was from somewhere else. I don't know...It's the only one I've ever seen and it comes from the sample room in Providence.

Here are ALL of the "Imperial Mexico" pocket knives that I have, so far, that are posted under this topic or thread.
It is time for some group pictures. Also posted, are the tang stamps that are represented by these pocket knives.
The majority of these are "PASTOR ALEMAN" stamped. Since today is the 5th of May or "Cinco de Mayo", in keeping
with the theme of this topic or thread, I decided that today would be an appropriate day to post these.
Captions, if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).
