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.
Great looking knives Hal. That Turkish Clip/California Clip/Muskrat Clip blade is one of the few clip patterns I can abide. I noticed they etched a double edge razor blade on the master. That will confuse the heck out of the younger folks. I doubt they've ever seen one to know what it is.
Forged on the anvil of discipline.

I did not find them "down here", I found them "UP THERE" in the USA.
They came from the estate of the owner of a Hardware Store, back in the late 1960’s early 1970’s.
I also found a Schrade D'holder in London... Ken

I bumped into a Schrade USA 152 Sharpfinger today; NOS with the leather sheath, but no packaging. Looking at e-Bay prices I didn't steal it and I didn't pay too much. I didn't own a single fixed blade Schrade until today, so it was a timely find.

You bet Dale. This is the only other picture I took yesterday, if you look at the edge the wood looks to be a laminate.

Dale, finally had enough daylight to get a couple of better pictures; not sure about the wood being laminate, could be a tight cross grain.

Found this Uncle Henry LB-7 in very good shape today. It has the solid spring (as opposed to the two piece) and a + marked blade. Not sure of the era but would guess late 1980's or early 1990's.

IT LOOKS LIKE A BUCK AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A BUCK, BUT IT IS NOT A BUCK.
This is my latest finds, one of the 3 Buck 301 knives Schrade made back in 1966-67.
