Schrade Cut Co Hunters Pride

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.

I've been enjoying these pics and thinking the same thing. Today I landed an unexpected "Fisherman's Pride" so never say "never".

I'd call it a companion model to the "Hunter's Pride". Both knives are listed in the 1938 (date corrected) pricelist.

Thanks!

Here are snips of the related supplements and pricelist so we can see the model numbers and original prices. Note that the Fisherman's Pride was originally the more expensive of the two. I found that quite surprising since the swing-guard auto-knife is much more complex but maybe the stainless steel drove the cost up a bit. That's the only explanation I can come up with.

I think there might be a stronger argument to be made that those price lists aren't from 1932. The supplements kept sequential page numbers from one supplement to the next and that price list shows your knife is on page 97 - in a catalog that came out in 1936. The price list also references page numbers from the 1938 supplement. I'd venture a guess that 1938 or 1939 is when those price lists were printed.


Nice knife! ::tu::

Thanks!

I think you are absolutely right about the date being off. lrv has it labelled as being from 1932 on his website but somewhere along the line I labelled the same pricelist #342 as being from 1938. I think I did it because I checked what was the highest page number referenced and went to supplements to find that page.

I will fix the previous posts for clarity. Pricelist is likely from 1938 not 1932. The Fishermans Pride knife probably did make it's first appearance in 1936.

That was quite a bit of $ back in the depression. I remember my Dad telling me that his Dad made 40$ a week and supported wife and 3 children on it. Seems hard to believe now with the prices these days. Thanks for posting the great pics and prices, very interesting.
