Cutlery Hall of Fame

Does anyone know how I can nominate George Schrade to the Hall of Fame? I believe it's long overdue. I sent an email to Blade Magazine but no response.
Thanks

I'm not aware of one and it might be a prototype that came from the Ellenville collection that was broken up in the bankruptcy. Rich Langston might know.

Re: Just published 2022 Vintage Switchblade Calendar

Just got mine today. I've printed calendars for my business and received many calendars in return but I've never seen such quality in a calendar before. It's more like a book. Excellent pictures. Kudos Alex but I can't imagine how you can top it in 2023.

Re: Is this real? R193

Back in 79 I ran an add in the local paper looking for former employees of the George Schrade Knife Co. for a book about my great grandfather. I received a call from an old cutler who worked for Remington. When Remington shut down their cutlery division he and other cutlers were allowed to take all ...

The New Presto Flying Jack

This is a project I've been working on for the past three years. I have a prototype knife my great grandfather, George Schrade, received a patent on in 1937 but never went into production for reasons I can only speculate. He died three years later. My friend Bill DeShivs disassembled the knife and I...

Beryllium dust is a known carcinogen and causes damage to lungs, liver and kidneys. It's safe in solid state. Blades of Beryllium Copper and Brass were used in the blasting field...

Re: Crown Stag Fans?

My first Bowie. Crown stag from a deer my father shot 75 years ago. 15" O/A. That tine on back of handle is in the perfect spot to make it stand up like that and is comfortably behind the pinky in a grip. I call it Big Daddy.
