1980s?? Old Timer Display

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.

1980s?? Old Timer Display

Post by chevycannontexasjack »

I just picked up this vintage display with all the original knives! I carefully took apart the frame and wiped down all the knives with some oil and rewired them to the board! All springs were good no issues! Just looking to figure out exactly what year it is from! It has a 1982 catalog and display sales brochure but this display is slightly different than the 1982 version! Original receipts from 1980s and the receipt from where it was sold to an individual! I took the display off the cabinet so I could hang it on the wall! Everything can carefully be put back together so no worries about originality! Also this thing was sealed, these knives had never been taken out until today! Looking to see if someone knows the exact year of this display set!

Older knives are like women, they are beautiful, pricey, and rarely do you find the good ones!

Thanks everyone! I will probably be selling it eventually after I figure out the value! I am not a schrade guy but I do admire the old timer line! Great knives!!

Cool display! Here is my UH display. I believe they only used the brown board for one year before they switched to red.
