Old Timer 980T Ramrod

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.

I recently found this Old Timer 980T Ramrod (1982-1997) in our neighborhood garage sale for $12.00. Probably not a bad deal?

Surely has had some bad sharpening done on it for most of its life, but should be worth that.

Nice find! Real Old Timers (not the Taylor junk) are getting harder to find, and the prices just keep creeping up. Used to be, you could buy a near-new USA 34OT for the same price a new Taylor is, but not anymore. \

Is that your train layout? It looks great!
