Ulster Old Timer Offers gallery

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.

Yes. The entire factory collection was parted out and sold on eBay.
An interesting, or not, story about my set. The original Ulster 58OT from the set was missing, probably lost in the hustle, and replaced with a similar Schrade knife. I purchased a 58OT separately to complete the set correctly.
Also, more interesting, the tobacco can still has the original wrapper and tobacco.

Pictured is a 580T with smooth bone handles. Anyone have one of these? I have no idea of how long they used bone or if they even started out with bone. ::shrug::

I was thinking around 1959-60 the same time they used bone on the 20T and 80T.
The 580T and 500T both had bone handles.The 500T was only made for two year. Wish I could show better pictures as my knives are locked in storage.

Here is my display. My utility knife is missing the lanyard ring but I am happy that I finally found all the knives (and a can with the paper inside)

Got this set cleaned up a little and ready to put away . Thought would post a pic here on this old thread . Doesn’t seem to be a lot of interest in these ,but they’re getting harder to find ,especially in good shape . The knives are great EDCs and it seems they all got used hard . These 3 are good shape .
If anyone else has any to show off or got any interesting info to add , please do so .
Take care,stay safe and warm.

I was fortunate enough to find a mint example of the 58OT less than a year ago for under $25 shipped. I just wish it had a sheepfoot instead of the spey.
