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.

There were 125 of these made in 1997. I've never seen one before, just stumbled upon it the other day. Skip - I believe this one is from your 'hood.

Pretty cool.
As a retired firefighter I really like these.
I have one similar, but it's Napanoch Fire Dept.
I actually picked that one up earlier this week too! It's a big week for FD knives from cities starting with the letter 'N'.

Nice knife Jason. That is one I wish I had. Actually a helpful piece of info with the 1st year of the napanoch FD. Here is a commemorative FD knife from SCHRADE I have.

Thanks Jay. Those Franklin Firefighter knives are really nice pieces. I dug into them a bit not all that long ago. A company called PA Bingo ordered 300 in 1992 and then another 300 in 2002. PA Bingo sold 'charitable gaming supplies' and would sell these knives to fire departments that would use them for fundraising by selling raffle tickets to win them.

OK....
Here they are:
The large one is a 886 UH and the smaller one is a 898 UH....
The 886 is 3-7/8" long and the 898 is 3-3/8" long.
As I understand, these were made for Schrade by Camillus.

Here is a good look at the tang stamps.....

That’s right Mike. There are a few that are not on the list. I had heard some info that camillus was used to fill some of the Sears craftsman orders. I had thought that the 866 and 898 would offer some clues. But they seem to present more questions then answers. Here are pics

James is it just the lighting that makes the blades look like they have very wide edge grinds ?

I got this one in today. Been wanting one to add to my Schrade Bunch. It is a Schrade Walden 293Y. Blades do have some scratches & spots, but have great snap and no wobble.

Smitty, great knife. That is a particularly nice example.
KJ, I believe the light is highlighting the actual grinds.

Those were special factory orders. I'm sure I used to know who they were made for, but I can't remember who it was just now.
Here is the order card for the 898UH. Down on the bottom right side of the card you can see, C.C.C., (for Camillus Cutlery Company), N.Y.. I have a couple of the 898s and a Moore Maker knife, made by Camillus, that is the same knife with three pins, a thumbnail cutout and yellow covers.
