Unusual Schrader 30T

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.

Unusual Schrader 30T

Post by ldnolan »

All of the Schrade 30T that I can find are the standard Old Timer with delrin handles. I have run across one that doesn't have any markings about Old Timer and has a smooth handle. Does any one know anything about the knife or is it a modified item or a Frankenstein?

Great pic of the tang stamp. It might be useful to see a pic of the knife.

Looks like someone might have decided to smooth and round off the original delrin handles.

I agree with Eric's analysis. ::tu::

I like the rounded profile of the handle, it looks comfortable.
