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.
Appreciate it I-man. You know, many years ago I wasn't that fond of yellow synthetic handles, but here in the last 10 or 15 years they have kind of grown on me.
Amen to that. Did not used to like yellow Delrin, the washed out pale hue. But it's growing on me, now I appreciate the understated and subtle look. I've always liked the rich vibrant or deep yellow and yours is good like that.
I agree!

Yeah, just like that one. Also really like the no bolser look, and the birds eye pivot. That's a classic, great looking knife period. Thanks for posting and keep 'em coming.

Beautiful knife, Kerry, and the background you used is most warm and inviting!
Here's more yellow for you guys to admire! lol!
Ahhhhh, funny. That is a good one MM. Love the one gagging himself, but I can never seem to figure a way to use it without possibly offending someone when I'm just trying to make a lighthearted joke.

Schrade Cut Co boy's knife. Got this one from galvanic1882. It is 3 1/4" in length with steel bolsters and liners.
Killer knife Danno, congrats. Even cooler it's about 80-100 yrs old and came from a blade brother on here. Fabulous bone, jigging, condition. Wow that is a cool boys knife. A+

Vit, that reminds me a lot of a Camo (Lite?) Buck I have. It is good you have the original box with the knife, very nice
Interesting that it's pinned the same way, has a similar handle texture, and even features a similar sheath as to what Buck packed with early Bucklites as well.
