Those hard to find Old Timers

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.

That sounds right, Jason; I have one or two I won't keep. They are quite nice. This gives me a good place to ask a question---- was the bone for these 80s and 90s knives coming from a German source?

Larry's probably the only person who might be able to answer that.

But still 50 years old, hard to find, and useful as the day it was new. ::tu::

I found this Old Timer watch a few years ago. It's from the 1980s and I think I remember a former salesman from the company telling me they were giving these to dealers.

Wow ! thanks for all the info everyone. I'd like to start a collection of these old bone handled knives but man, they are kind of pricey these days. Like everything else. That watch is pretty awesome.
