Interesting Schrade

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.

Interesting Schrade

Post by tongueriver »

Here is a knife which Herman Williams made for a club back in the day. It is, to my view, an over-priced and mildly ugly thing, but an important example to Schrade collecting and history. It is currently up for sale on ebay by a seller who has some errors in his listing. For instance, this knife is clad in Herman's signature red-dyed stag; it is not bone stag. Enjoy.

The pattern itself isn't that bad (I think Bulldog may have made one like this); my problem is just the deeply etched, inked blades. That's the ugly part.


Looks like a 33OT, 44OT, and 34 (or 8OT) hybrid.

Herman also made a few of them outside the Catawba Club order. He used 858OTs to build these knives. Way too big to carry, at least for me.
