New in today ,deerslayer,Sharpfinger etc

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.

Nice acquisitions Paul!
That are probably much harder to find there in the UK than in the USA.

Nice haul, Paul. The Sharpfinger is one of my favorite fixed blades, just right for a lot of tasks. I have a Deerslayer also, but it is a bit big for most stuff. I love the steel on those knives.

Paul, the 1st picture struck me as "comfortable"! Something about the worn leather sheaths, it just looks good to me. ::shrug::
All those knives are great, the shrimshawed 2 blade would my choice.
Can't do better than a folding hunter at Starvation Plantation. :)

Cheers mate , yeah the sheaths are all well used , felt a bit damp when I got them so put them in the sun and then waxed them , much better now , I like the scrimshaw hunter , think these are from 1977 , I’m sure originally there was blade etching ? All lovely old Schrades and I’m very happy with them ::tu::
