What is Your Latest Old 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.

Here are a couple of Schrade CC autos I have recently acquired. The top one is a No. 1613 3/4 and is 4 & 7/8 inches. It has a divot type jigged bone pre peach seed. The bottom one is a No. 1553 3/4 and is 4 & 1/4 inches. It has a sort of a pre peach seed what I think has been called a confused basketweave jigging pattern. Thanks for looking!

Those are exceptionally beautiful knives, Lloyd; thanks for showing them. Those larger knives really show off the bone. Back in the day, those switch blades were nothing to brag on, functionally, but OH! the BONE!

Finally filled the last slot in my all bone display with this Walden era 804. Thank you, Eric for making this one available.

The 4 on the left are all Cut Co's, others are Walden, with the 974, 895, and 2OT being rehandled by Mr. Herman Williams.

I am guessing (if this knife was made before 1973) that the "SW Cut" on the tang stands for "Schrade Walden Cutlery". ::paranoid::

Can anyone out there tell me if that is correct? Any other information on this knife? ::hmm::

They were manufactured by Imperial from 1976 to 1978 (not Schrade) as a collaboration between James Parker and Schrade. Five knives in five colors of Delrin with a famous Revolutionary War hero on each one. I may still have the full set, with matching numbers, all papers and boxes. They would be available if I can find them.

Got a little boys knife type from the Cut Co years in the mail from Knifeaholic, with no numbers on it. About 3 1/4 or 3 5/16 or there abouts. Sweet little old knife although I thought it would be bigger. Isn't that the oldest one in the book I guess. Fine little knife though with good bones. Thanks Knifeaholic, always great knives, appreciate it.
