SCHRADES MY TRUE LOVE

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.

LE Stag Jack I like this one because it is not offen that you find the nail nickes on the same side of a two bladed knife.

I thought I'd kick this thread back up the list with a photo I came acoss.

All these knives appear to be stamped with the pre-1946 SCHRADE / CUT. CO. tang marking.

A good many have what appear to be salesman's sample code markings in India ink.

LT would love these. ::tu::

For those who don't know, the seller is doling out those knives in the box one at a time on the famous auction site. He has sold 2 or 3 so far.

When I was a kid I thought Schrade knives were inferior because they would rust. I didn't know the difference between stainless and carbon steels. However, they were available and priced where I could afford them (from kid through college) so I acquired a couple dozen of various patterns over the years. Now that I do know more about steel, I have rediscovered these knives and they are some of my favorites. All my Schrade knives are extremely well made with regard to fit and finish. They are tough as woodpecker lips and I love the old carbon 1095. Now that the USA made ones no longer being made, they are that much more desirable to me. I've got an Old Timer baby stockman in my pocket right now and she is a fine little beauty.

Old Timers and Little Debbie snack cakes. Sounds like a good time to me. I like the Nutty Bars...

I have been looking for a reasonably priced 14OT for about 6 years.
I found one last Saturday at the OKCA Mini-Show in Eugene Oregon.
14OT a.jpg
14OT b.jpg
A fellow had an older Wall display with the 13OT & 14OT in it, for display only, not for sale.
I was admiring it and asked him if he had another 14OT he would sell.
He pulled this one out and said it had originally been the display but was starting to spot, so he replaced it with a mint example and was doing that with all the knives in the display.
I asked him how much he wanted for the 14 and he said $40.
I said "Sold!" & handed him 2 twenties before he had a chance to change his mind!

He had cleaned it up some and there are still a few pits on the blade, but not bad for the price.
Now I just need to find a sheath for it.

For me, that knife alone made it worth the trip to the show! ::tu::

Dale that was a good find. I purchased a mint one with a box ,it cost me four times that.They are fairly rare in reasonable order.I am still looking for a old timer compass as you said the rarest of them all.
