Schrade Theatre

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.

But have your knives "skinned 100’s of Grizzly, Moose, wolves and every Alaskan Critter you can think of" ?
That's where the value is! ::facepalm::

I think he's looking to 'skin' one more.

No. But, they have slayed thousands of cardboard boxes, blister packs and envelopes. Conquered the heartiest of cordage and zip ties and they’ve even put in long hours strutting their stuff in front of the camera. Basically we’re talking about some real ‘renaissance knives’ that can bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan. What’s a few hundred grizzlies compared to that? I think I just talked myself up to 3.8 million!

The seller claims about 800-850 were made with the LL Bean shield. Where would this information be found ? As far as i know Schrade did not provide numbers for size of SFO runs.
I think her Alaskan Trapper story is 100% fantasy. I'm sure Alaska has hunting regulations that limit the number of grizzlies that can be harvested in any one year. It is not a 'shoot 'em up free for all' as seller suggests.
Surely no one is stupid enough to pay more than about $30 for this knife ?
If the blade was not tipped i would send seller an offer of $25 which is a realistic price.

There were so many of these Sharpfingers made that they would stretch to the moon and back. You can sometimes find a mint one for $25. This one isn't worth the postage.

I agree, I don't think I've ever paid over $20 for a sharpfinger.
I might give two dollars for this one.

AHHH, but the seller's Sharp Finger has an L.L.Bean shield ! ::woot:: and it is solid platinum, all the way through !
Anyone know how many were made with LLBean shield ?
