Schrade made Maher & Grosh

William H. Maher and Emil Grosh started the Maher & Grosh Wholesale Cutlery Co. in 1877 with a goal to sell high quality US manufactured cutlery globally. The original business dissolved in 1988, but the brand has since been resurrected.

Schrade made Maher & Grosh

Post by peanut740 »

Later in Maher & Grosh's life they had a lot of knives made by Schrade Walden.You also find them in bone and then later in delrin.You will find bone handled one's with a Maher & Grosh's tang stamp and some with a Schrade Walden stamp and Maher & Grosh etch.Some etched will be Toledo,Ohio,and some Clyde,Ohio.
M & G changed hands in 1962 or 3 when. The last of Maher's descendants passed away.You will cine mostly felt in handled knives in the Clyde era,but you will see bone one's also.They obviously had some left over bone handled Schrade Walden knives,has Schrade went to Self in in 1960 or so.
I going to post several examples here.
If you have some post them,more the merrier!

That is a remarkable and beautiful collection of Schrade Waldens. I don't personally consider the Maher and Grosh connection particularly primary as they were just a store, but that is just me. It is a good a place as any to start a Schrade collection. I am in awe of your parade!!! Other stores that bought big from Schrade were Primble, Hardware Hank, Shapleigh, etc., etc.Thanks for sharing. ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::
