What can ya'll tell me about the model 24 schrade?

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.

Hey Musky. This pattern is Larrys favorite so he can tell you all the dates ect. Dale also likes this style and I am sure they both will cover it better than me. This stuff is to new for me ( just kidding er sort of) any way you also have to acquire a Lady Liberty limited edition which was both etched and made in real jigged bone. The other one in the pics I am attaching is a proto out of R+D ( research and development ). They just made this one and it was to comopete wuith some issue made by Case any way they did not like it and never produced it. I have shown these before. But thought you might enjoy the pics oh yes the photo is a company pic Schrade used to show customers. LT

Many days I carry my 124UH. that I have put a one armed bandit on the blade. What a unique little knife, the looks of the big traditional folding hunter in pocket carry size. LT, does Canal street offer a version of this knife?

Found it in a box of R&D stuff I was going to cannabalize the pieces when Frank Giorgianni saw it and said i thought you went ga ga for protos well this one is a dandy . Turns out it was made to compete with a Case issue but they never went through with it. Frank remembered it and I had all the pieces so a little bit of history saved. LT

LT,
I was up at Canal Street last week and they were going full tilt on the new Bowie Hunter and canittlers ::tu:: . I saw Mr Swindens work table but unfortunately he was in well deserved retirement mode that day.

LT, tell your friends at Canal Street street that they need to make a five inch toothpick, handled in PEARL. No, sorry, we can't make you our forum begger for whatever patterns we collect.

I hope one of the Cannitlers they are working on is the Wolverine knife club pearl handled knives that LRV and I are waiting on.

Phil,
You're Wolverines were just about done. I saw about twenty of them in a box (that pearl looks nice!), waiting to have the bolsters numbered. I believe the numbering was all they had left to do.

The 123OT & 124UH were 1st sdvertised in 1985 as the Pioneer and Maverick. They were in productin in 84 but unadvertised. In 1986 the 124UH Maverick was renamed to Tradesman.
In 1987 the SC524 Badger Scrim and 1988 a SC524 with 2 bears.
I dont see any in 1989 or after..

I wouldn't mind seeing a blow up of the backspring file work and the bolster work on that Fancy OT there thawk. I always love to look at new stuff and new styles. Keeps everything refreshing. Thanks, I hope you can do!

I too would like to see closeups of the bolster work and filework. I always enjoy seeing new work. Bolster work is something I have yet to do much of yet which I think will have to try soon.
