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.
The 34OT is one of the best Old Timers as far as functionality combined with carry ability (Fits comfortably in the pocket). It is smaller than its big brother the 8OT, which has the same blade complement, therefore the 34OT is more comfortable in the pocket.
A great knife pattern with a comfortable carry size!
Enjoy!

Picked up this wire frame Jack at a gun show. Price was right . Don’t know much about Schrade . This is a very simple design and was surprised at how well it works . If my little knowledge of these services me right it’s the later model that they put the metal(red ) insert in because people were getting cut without the insert. If any of you schrade collectors are interested in it let me know as I’m not a Schrade collector.
Take care out there .

Very nice. I’m a sucker for old electrician’s knives.
Thanks, John. Me too--love 'em!
