What Schrade RARE knife do you have

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.

Awesome knife JAMESC.

This would be the correct catalog model. The catalog image posted above does not have the saber ground main but it is the same knife otherwise. I believe the 3/8 would be designating the saber clip blade. This is the same frame as the standard size cut cattle knives. It makes for a very pleasing jack knife as well.

Here is one that didn't show up in the Schrade line-up until 1967, but it is pretty rare. Serial #00009, a salesman's sample. Notice the hinged box, the wide stone, and the diagonal sheath strap, all to quickly disappear for the 165OT, which went on to grace the belts of more than a few outdoorsmen.

As per Eric:

There were only twenty five made with the gold bolsters and rifle. I thought that those all had scrolled bolsters in the official version but you might have an extra there that possibly "fell" off the production line before it was engraved. :lol: ::tu::
I think Shaw-Liebowitz did the engraving.

Eric
Pics confirm it was indeed Shaw-Leibowitz who did the blades. ::tu:: Thanks for posting your knife!

This little grail knife popped up on ebay last night. It was misidentified and I snatched it moments after it was listed. :D :D :D :D :D

They are part of a small order of stainless OTs made for the European market in 1991. Several hundred were made, a handful were shipped and the rest were boxed and sold here. Notice the Schrade+ on the tang? The blades are etched 440 Stainless and the pattern numbers were altered. The 19OT is a stainless version of a 104OT. Other included 512OT (152OT), 518OT (158OT) and 126OT (125OT). The only other 19OT I have ever seen is the one on Larry's site. Sadly mine was a user so the etch is gone and the blade is sharpened - but still, as rare as it is I'm just thrilled it even exists. This pic of a good example is from COSRUS:

The irony here is that the one pattern mentioned in Cal's post that I neglected to include was the 226OT. I just recently bought a sample sheath for that very knife! That short term memory loss is a real pain in the ass sometimes. ::facepalm::
