What is Your Latest Old 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.

Cal.... when posting.... you need to keep the knife in the same orientation as the catalog clip so that when I stand on the ceiling, the knife doesn't look upside down.... ::woot:: Seriously.... anyway you look at it.... that's one sweet lookin' Schrade! ::tu:: 8) ....far beats the ones I have seen locally lately....
'til later....

Roger it looks like all of your Schrade-Walden knives have bone handles. These are harder to find than the same patterns with jigged Delrin handles which were first used in 1960.

I got this Cut Co serpentine jack today:

I can't find it in the catalogs so I'm guessing it might be a late teens or early twenties knife. Far from perfect but a nice old Schrade none the less. 2 7/8 closed with a half saber clip and pen blades.

think this would be your peanut pattern. Although yours does not have a shield, that would be a common variation. Yours would sometimes be called "assorted celluloid handle", or AC at the end of the pattern number. a "4" means celluloid, so yours might be 2724 3/8 AC.

Thanks Cal. That's the pattern I was initially leaning towards but I didn't know about the ACs and that there could be variations without a shield. Knowing that helps (and will undoubtedly lead me to misidentify lots of knives, lol) - thanks for the lesson! I think there's one last hurdle in confirming that pattern. The picture of the 2724 has the cap pointing 'up' but the knife I got has a downward facing cap. Some of these old Schrades can really keep you guessing!
