Schrade Copenhagen Model

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.

Schrade Copenhagen Model

Post by 268bull »

Picked up a Schrade+ Copenhagen series knife today. Have gone through my knife books and many pages here on the computer but can't seem to find much on the series. If anyone has some knowledge on when this series came out and a lockback number, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Dale H.

Dale, Schrade made MANY knives with the Copenhagen logo, mostly during the early to mid 1990's. Yours sounds like an LB7. If you could post a pic I can likely narrow it down for you.

ea42, I got a new camera and am having problems uploading pics at the moment. Not so sure though that the knife is a LB7. The handle measures 3 3/4 inches and the blade is 2 5/8 inches. Does the LB7 vary in length? There is a Copenhagen medallion embedded in the handle. The handle is black, saw cut Delrin I believe. It's a solidly built knife. Dale H.

ea42 is right......Schrade did a lot of different knives with Copenhagen as well as Skoal. I have at least a dozen of each and at least 6 different models. Really gonna need a picture to help you further. If you can't post a picture...check the AAPK Stores for Schrade knives and see if you can at least see a picture of the style of the knife you have.

Sounds like it may be a 5OT or even a LB-5. Both were 3-3/4 inches closed.
I haven't seen either of those patterns in black Delrin before, but that don't mean nothin'! :lol:
Either of those would probably look good in black Delrin, especially with brass bolsters, IMO. ::tu::

I am anxiously awaiting some pics! ::nod::

Thanks Dale. I'm thinking about going back to my source again this afternoon. There is an Ulster and a Sears I looked long and hard at yesterday. He handed me three boxes of knives to go thru, most of which are wore out. Dig deep though, the good ones settle at the bottom. LOL ::nod:: Dale H. Oh yeah, I forgot to metion the 8ot I passed on. That knife has strong snap!

By the time I dug mine out and photographed it, then got time to post the pic, 268Bull had posted his. Since I went to all that effort :roll: I'm gonna post mine anyway. :mrgreen:

They are a rock solid feeling little lockback. Somehow mine feels a bit more substantial than the regular LB 5 I have does.

Nice knives.
I think that brass & black combo really looks sharp (pun not intended).

Well Big, you probably would have stopped chewing anyway.
Takes a lot of practice to be able to spit while riding down
the road with a full face helmet on don't it?

Only Cope I have is the same 33 posted already.
Seems the 33 and 12 along with the trapper are most common.
that LB5 do seem like a convenient size to have on hand.
Knice catch! :mrgreen:
