Schrade Walden 826

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.

Schrade Walden 826

Post by JohnR »

Snatched this 826 off of Ebay yesterday, can find very little out there on these knives or very many examples. Looks like possibly only made 1953 and 54. By the looks of the knife and the box maybe made as gift knives?
Pics are the sellers, any information on the 826 is appreciated.

Surprised no one has chimed in on this knife. Looks like a fancied up 825, one of my favorite patterns. Nice looking knife whether it is a real Schrade Walden or something Taylor had made later. I probably would have bought it.

Sorry about not posting; I visited with John otherwise. Anyway, it is the real deal, as he said. As for me, as I snooze, so shall I lose. :(

I don't see it in any other than the 53 and 54 price lists.
The one mentions its the same as the Westerner (825) with special covers for a marketing stamp.
Looking for more details but records before 1959 are slim
Great looking knife.

USPS is still holding the knife hostage, maybe tomorrow. Thank you all for the comments and for the information, LRV, thank you for posting the price list, I have the 1954 but not that one.
