Start of my Schrade USA collection

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.

Start of my Schrade USA collection

Post by 00p225 »

Found a few nearly mint ones so far, I think as I continue, I'm going to look for slightly used examples to clean up, spending around fifty per knife for minty examples won't work for a fixed retirement income, lol

Starting with the stockman's first, had a 897uh in high school in the early 1980's, lost it bailing around 1996, then bought a 34ot to replace it, funds were too tight for an Uncle Henry, had to go Old Timer. I still have that one, lol!

I concur. It is nice to obtain a new Schrade, but getting a slightly used one to polish up is even more exciting.

Nice stockmans, Oop. Those old USA Schrades with the Delrin handles cannot be beat for a user knife, in my opinion. That is what I have in my pocket just about every day.

If you look around you can find some good deals occasionally, if you are patient.
My problem is I don't have much patience OR money to spend on knives. Good luck with your quest!

Nice start on a collection!

Welcome! We are grateful for a new helper to get some of those Schrades off the old Bay. Housecleaning, you know.
