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.

Another stunner, congrats John, absolute beautiful bone. ::tu:: :mrgreen:

Thank you Ivoryman, ::tu:: ::tu::


Won an auction for a very nice early Schrade Walden 804 whittler, surprisingly I was the only bidder. Looks to have had little use, still has some Everlastingly Sharp etch remaining, sat unused in a pocket slip for some time. I would think this one is late 1940's, before Schrade started stamping pattern number on tang.

Pulled this old Cut Co. jack out today for a little wipe down. Well uses, but still snappy and solid.

VERY cool...
I see that the main blade is a sheep's foot blade. I had in my mind that the main blade might have been a spear point blade like a lot of the older knives.
Thanks for posting up your knife! It will give me some guidance for my restoration work on mine!

Most of these early Boy Scout easy openers came with a sheep foot master blade .

Well....
I am glad to be able to add another 2OT to my collection.
The seller had a higher price on it than I wanted to pay but (after I was NICE when I made my offer) the seller accepted my offer.

The seller told me a few "knife people" had been really mean to her (I can just imagine things that were said.... ::teary_eyes:: ). Then I had to ask myself....WHY?
I told her all the knife people I hang out with are nice people.

Anyway..... here it is....

In case 1.jpeg

Coining.jpeg

There is an indicator on this knife that suggests how (or maybe...when) the "coining" was applied to the liners. Notice how the coining extends over slightly on to the bolster.
INTERESTING!!!

SO there ya are.... my latest Old Schrade.
