LB8 Dates ?

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.

Wow

That is a result for information !!!

I never expected such a detailed reply, thank you very much for this.

I guess I should try and track down the other knives in this set, although I think it would be a life time search.

Thanks Mate ::tu::

So I am guessing that they did not put serial numbers on special orders ?
