Lucky Day

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.

Thanks. (I'm trying to decipher your handle. Looks like guitar-click-track. My Dad's folks are from Taswell). O'.

Thanks Joe and Red. The box is a little crushed, but, what the hey? O'.

WKG: My "contacts" know I'll buy most any knife or give them a reasonable estimate of what I think they could get if I don't want it. The Old Timer was already priced, but I did give a little donation which I often do if the price is low. They're usually not priced and we haggle a bit. I'm fair and they don't pay for the items anyway, so it's a nice relationship. O'.

Good stuff buddy. I am also trying my best to network with the local thrift stores, and a few people who do storage locker clean outs. The service i provide is ill buy the junk and China made ones too as sort of a favor. Though i must say, chatting with all these older fellas all the time is rewarding enough in and of itself. But first chance and good prices are cool too ::tu::

I happen upon quite a bit of Asian stuff for a buck or two or free. I then give 10 or so to the shop and she has them in a box near the cash register. She says they go well for $5 apiece. Works for the shop so I get first pick on what comes in. Can't say its often, maybe once every two months.

Now this is awesome. I'm all about finding a use for every knife. Cheapos as currency is great

Our thrift stores have glass display cases with all kinds of donated stuff, including kitchen knives. But never any pocketknives. Maybe it's a policy thing.

Could be. Many thrift stores do silent or online auctions for knives
