My latest 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.

Some Jeffinn bones and canvas on a couple old Schrades came in. Love these two immediately. Little strop, little oil, little pocket time immediately. :mrgreen:

Thanks doglegg, appreciate the mention. Here's the same two with a couple more Jeffinn mods. Love the bones and the micarta. And the 8OT and 33OT patterns.

:D ...Beautiful I-Man!!! ::tu:: ::tu:: Here is my latest a 225 OT, Jeffinn bones.... oh how sweet it is... :D NO pocket time, ... I am putting it right into a small hard knife case and that goes into a vacuum sealed bag filled with silica desiccant, that then will be put into a hard Pelican Case and finally into an 890 lb. solid hardened steel safe. I am taking no chances with this baby! ::skeptic::

Gorgeous green GSPTD, that mottled look always gets me. Great dark jade like coloring, love it. Congrats. No surprise either, every one of the half dozen of so I've handled were perfect. I can't say enough about this one too. Had it out for a couple more shots. Really impressive perfect transitions, the bolster fluting, the finishing and re-assembly. Believe he replaced the main as it looks pristine and unsused, I think factory edge. And it shaves. Also way better than when it left the Schrade factory with these covers that Schrade never did. Jeffinn rocks. Absolutely fabulous knives. Thanks again Jeff. Everybody else should check them out before they're gone.

Those scales are so much better than the factory ones... Derlin is OK... :| but replacing it with micarta/bone/stag makes the knife so much better when it slips into your pocket... :wink:

One of my latest I picked up about a month or so ago. Just now getting around to posting it. A Schrade 863. For all intents and purposes, other than some age spots on the blades it is like new. Blades are tight with great snap, no play or wobble.

Appreciate it I-man. You know, many years ago I wasn't that fond of yellow synthetic handles, but here in the last 10 or 15 years they have kind of grown on me.

Amen to that. Did not used to like yellow Delrin, the washed out pale hue. But it's growing on me, now I appreciate the understated and subtle look. I've always liked the rich vibrant or deep yellow and yours is good like that.
