SCHRADE - Giant Knife - SC5 SM2011

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.

Picked up at a local auction. Unable to find any info on it. What is the purpose of the size? What is it worth?

Don't know anything about it but I can see why you bought it.
That's a WHOPPER!

It's made in China by Taylor (who owns the Schrade name and trademarks) - that will help you determine it's worth. Very large knives are made for the interest factor (people just think they are cool) and for display in knife shops and cutlery departments. Mostly, like anything, they are made to sell and make money for the manufacturer. For the sake of posterity you might want a Forum Mod to move it to the Schrade Legacy or the Chinese Factory sub-forums for you. OH

We don't want it here on the Schrade sub-forum. This forum is only about pre-2004 Schrade knives and their cousins, such as Imperial, and an occasional George Schrade or Camillus. Take it to Chinese, please, if a moderator is looking.
