Craftsman Knives

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.

Just recently, last week, got this Craftsman 2 blade Jack. I believe it
was made by Camillus. It cleaned up knife and took a good edge.
It joins the other Craftsman knives I have.

Here is one of the 9561 Craftsman Electrician's knives I found on the net. I had to have it since it sports a saw!
I will be putting new covers on it to replace these tired originals.... (I don't exactly like the "rat chewed" area..... LOL)
The blades look pretty nice. Looks barely used.

Here is a couple of sellers pics......

I'm sorta thinking I might put some bone OR maybe even deer antler covers on it.
OR... should I use wood..... I do have some nice pieces of wood.
What do y'all think?
This should be a nice knife after a good clean-up.

:D

I think the rat turned it into an easy opener. I like all 3 options of handle material.

Mike for that one I would be drawn to the bone handles or I might go with buffalo horn.

This^
But I’m partial to bone and buffalo horn.
On the other hand, I have been working with some really nice stabilized woods lately…..

Yep..... I believe bone or horn will look better.

The existing delrin covers have that look of wood grain BUT they also make it look really plain... ::td::
This was a knife that was meant to be used BUT I want it to look a little dressier when I finish.

SO..... bone or horn it is!

:D

Just found this Old Timer 340T. Has this blade been reshaped?
