Any chance of a sticky for fixed blade Schrades?

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.

Great read and pics here. Being hunting season ,got some hunters out and thought what the heck,Post a couple. Got the 153 some years ago ,not very familiar with Schrade. Would 33941 be a # from late 1970 into early 80 on the 153UH . Have used it many years ,and field dressed a lot of whitetail with it ,it’s been a great user. The other one ,believe you call it a sharp finger ,is that correct? It’s new and never been used ,got sheath and box . It’s a pattern that I don’t really care for. Got a bunch of older ones will dig out and post someday

Working on a layout to display my Schrade Aurum Bowies.

Top left, Citizens Committee to Keep and Bear Arms with sterling fittings (Only 6 blades made, less finished) Below that is the Mountain Man Scene which is what is on the back of the above knife (1of 3 made to test etch design). Below that is Custer Bowie, then one variation of Colt Bowie. Top right is 1976 NRA Deluxe Bowie with sterling and below that is back side of standard NRA Bowie. The next two are Buffalo Bill Bowie and a another variation of the Colt Bowie.

138 Wonda Edge with Patent Pending etch. The 138WE wasn't in a catalog but a total of 144 units did ship in 1960. The etch on this one implies 1957-1958 - with that and the imperfect sheath text I'm thinking prototype/sample.

WOW, Jason, what a terrific find! I've got a very nice 147WE, but it's not immaculate like your 138. A real beauty!

I just purchased this one.....
.
My problem is, now that I am looking at it..... It sure doesn't look like a 148.
I got it because I wanted a fixed blade to clean up and I saw this one for a good price.
.
SO.... what the heck is it?

Looks like a first year (1973) '49er's series 498S with a leftover SW 148 blade. A pretty rare bird.

Cool.... THANKS for the reply!
The more I looked yesterday, I did see those '49ers and, you are right, that is as close as I could find that looked like this one.

Yes; those are great knives, Ken. Except for you and me, I don't think I have ever seen one of the DH&LW display sets. They are really rare and special.

Does this information below sound correct? ::hmm::

From 1975-1976 Schrade made a Bob Loveless designed knife called the Schrade-Loveless Hunter (RL-2) I believe the blade was made from 154CM although there is some confusion on the blade steel and it retailed for $100. the knives of 1975 & 1976 had handles of burgundy delrin and had the laser engraved R.W, Loveless/Schrade oval on the blade.

Then in 1991-1995 two knives called the Pro Hunter are introduced. The PH-1 (which based on its profile) looks like a clone to the 1975-1979 models. A smaller version called the Mini Pro Hunter (PH-2) is also offered. The Mini has an overall length of 7". These "new" knives had black delrin handles instead of the original burgundy.

Lots of versions and variations of those loveless pattern Schrades. SFOs, commemoratives, etc. I have more than one re-handled by Herman Williams. R.I.P. Great knives.

This is 1976 paper-work for one of my Loveless RL2 Knives.
The unfinished 2002-2003? set had a Pro-Hunter, with Blue Bone handle in it... Ken
