Addition to collection Limited edition lb7 camillus/schrade.

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 got these off of an older mad who was into collection this pattern.

Scrimsha cowboy which is cool but I might part with.

This one is my favorite. I just like the design and the leather is over the top nice. Reminds me of the old west.

Chris, the last is my favorite also. The bolster engraving and sheath are sweet! I also like the Uncle Henry. Nice bunch of knives.

Thanks. The uncle henry looks like it has a bone handle. The last one with the silver bolsters is in my display case. Inside the box there is paper that says it is a handmade custom. It is cool to think that someone in the USA sat there and made this knife by hand. Just like the camillus that was customized by santa fe stone works. Someone put some time into it.

Chris,

Schrade did an LB-7 and an LB-5 (smaller version of the LB-7). They are both great knives. These did come out of the Custom Knife Department within Schrade, In fact My Uncle Harold was the man behind the scenes in the Custom Shop. He is a Master Cutler and is still doing great things with knives with the Canal Street Cutlery folks.

Good looking knives...now you need to find the LB-5 that goes with that LB-7.

Tom
