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.

A little pepper, but otherwise not used. Uncommon.

Schrade Walden 124 ? I have not ever seen this pattern before. Schrade also used "124" for the Uncle Henry 4" Folding Hunter, the 124UH. A bit odd to use same number for different patterns even though from a different era.
Here is my newest Schrade, a 225H. This is the same knife as a 227UH and the 25OT and all 3 were made concurrently. This Schrade/USA 225H would be from 1972 until ?, not sure, maybe early 1980"s ?
Handles are Delrin and the shield has a Yin-Yang symbol over "ASTEN". I have seen Schrade Rope knives with "Asten Felts" etch. I believe this was a company that made felt wheels used in processing wood pulp to paper.
This knife has been very lightly used but blades never resharpened. Note that blade tips are original. Many of the Schrade Folding Hunters have rounded tips, so i think this is a great find.
Sheath is the older style for the Folding Hunter but has "Uncle Henry" on it so might not be original. Regardless i like it, a lot, sheath & knife.

The Schrade folding hunter in various versions is still (since 2007) one of my favorite patterns. I am sorry to have released one that they made for BUCK with a wonda-edge secondary. It turned out to be an extremely rare item. :(

New to me this week is this SS8813 :D - the bone is perfect and all three blades snap as hard as new. It's been used and cleaned. Lot's of surface scratches and the clip blade is just barely tipped.

Very nice indeed, an early Schrade Cut Co. stainless. I had one and have seen others of this pattern with a chunk of steel missing from master blade. The early stainless steel formulas or tempering still needed tweaking.

I recently found this hiding in a display case at a local antique shop. I put a little oil in the pivot’s and sharpened the blade. This one has seen a lot of pocket time but still has a lot of snap, and not too much blade play.

The handles on the S-W stock knife above are what Schrade called "Merschaum"(sp ?) bone or maybe "Bonite" ? There is confusion regarding the pre Delrin synthetic handles as to exactly which handles these terms refer to,

Like everything about that one Dale. The bones, the bolsters, the blades. That is a great pick up. ::nod:: ::nod::

Such a graceful pattern. I think it is one of the most sought after of all Schrade Cut Co knives. I am jealous !

I've had a Schrade Walden

233 for years that I found in a washing machine at a laundromat. It was well worn, and the blades had been sharpened down a lot. I thought that the owner must love this knife, so I tried to find him by placing a note at the laundromat, but to no avail.
I thought it was a 283 by the tang stamp. The middle 3 looked exactly like and 8. I've been trying to find a NOS 283 for years, but none ever showed up for sale. A few weeks back I bought a jeweler's 10x Loupe, and discovered that it was a pattern 233. I went to ebay, and there it was. A NOS 233, so at long last I had a new one to go with my much loved old 233.

Good show, Wally. You will find the three and eight problem tang stamps on several Schrade knives. The most common one is an 84OT stockman tang stamp which is actually a 34OT tang stamp. There are others.

... and speaking about such a prize... while it was back in September I acquired it at a show... it is still my latest Schrade... so I guess it still qualifies...

Wally, I applaud your choice in pocket knives. My very first knife was a Schrade Walden 233. While I no longer have that particular knife, I've picked up a few others that are in my collection, as well as a couple for EDC. ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::

Dale, that's a great knife and has the earlier rooster comb secondary blade which is very hard to find, most had this type of secondary blade or as Lyle likes to call them "the secondary primary".
