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.
Here is Schrade CC Texas Jack (Moose) pattern no. 7813 (Schrade 1926 catalog pg. 46). The catalog says it is 4 inches. I measure
this example at 3 & 15/16 inches. I was drawn to it because of the beautiful pick bone handles and the blade finishes. The clip point mark side blade is crocus finished and all other blade surfaces are glazed. The folder does not look to have been used or sharpened post production.
This jack has spun pins and because of this it is definitely a 1920s or later produced specimen. I think it is generally accepted that in American cutlery hammered pins are circa pre 1920 and spun pins are circa post 1920. The pick bone handles are usually associated with pre 1920 knives. Anyway here are the photos sorry for the rather loud back ground color I usually use something a lot more muted
Don't think I have seen one of those before ... Beautiful !!

A small Schrade Cut Co dogleg, just over 3". Typical great Schrade bone, full blades, good pulls and snaps. Don't recall seeing this pattern all that often, I guess it might be considered a peanut.

For some reason I was never interested in the Geo. Schrade wire jacks, but I finally got one.
This one is a bit ragged, but it'll do for a starter: 004.JPG007.JPG

First time I’ve seen this little whittler with a 3 1/4” frame. It’s an old pattern. All blades stamped. I’ve shown similar examples from the 1932 and 1938 Schrade Cut Co Supplements. The husky little clip blade with a long pull is a real treat. I’ve also displayed the 837 and 804 Schrade Walden split spring whittlers. These two are 3 9/16” and 3 7/8”. It’s kind of like a little seahorse pattern. I’ll number it 8793 3/4 B.
