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.

19OT - A two blade pen knife, stainless blades and springs, OT handles.
Est. Qty. 1991: 600
Total Produced: 1,835
Total shipped to Europe: 251

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::

"Herman touched up a 226 for me a bit."

I'd call it a 226OT +
Move the + down a line on the stamp!

Herman sure does make them sing.

Speaking of 761s, here is an oddball. A 761 (or any other 3 9/16" slenderino frame) with classic Rogers bone that Schrade didn't use, and blades out of an 881. A real lunchbox special!

I've had this unfinished stag-handle 885 for a few months now. I suspect it was intended for a special release that never happened.

Years before the BladeForums edition Buck 301 (which given Buck's construction, I think is a two-spring knife), it is obvious a two-blade, one backspring full-size Stockman was a good idea. And the Rogers bone looks great!

I am confused by 2 knives on the previous page:
226OT ? The Schrade "Son of a Gun" the 2 blade Folding Hunter with saw blade secondary is the 225OT ?
And "761", what knives are in the 700's ? i know 825, 855, 861, 863, 895, but don't know any patterns in the 700's ?
Is this Old Timers disease ?

Those 761s were from the early/mid fifties and are slimmed down 861s with the sheepfoot and one of the springs deleted. Probably wasn't too popular or we'd be seeing more of them.

The 226OT is the stainless version of the 225OT. The stainless Old Timers were made for Europe but never made their way there. I don't know the whole story on that. From 1992-1994 the factory shipped a total of 953 of them.

On those stainless OTs; there was also a 152 (became a 512 in stainless), a 158 (518) and a stainless 104ot that became a 19ot. I found one of those 19s recently. There could be more patterns that I can't remember at the moment.

Jason, thank you for helping explain my confusion. I never 'got into' the Schrades that were for export to Europe. But i am surprised that i did not know the 761. With Schrade even after years of collecting and reading there is always something 'new' popping up.
