Little Waldens (for Trail)

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.

Long pulls, serpentine handles, and tiny pen blades. The small 2 3/4" pen, stockman, and jack knives Schrade Walden made in the 1950's and 1960's are a fun bunch to collect. The big knives get a lot of the attention, but these are really well made pocket knives.

Nice assortments of handles materials and patterns

The Free State Brewing Company in Lawrence KS makes some good beers. If you are ever going between the Mississippi River and the Rockies on I-70, pull it on over and have some excellent ale and great pub food.

Very nice knives.
The Rendevous Bar is still there... things don't move so fast over in Chanute.

That's amazing. My buddy and I kept a room above the bar. I worked with the owner, Earl, in Arkansas City putting in telephone poles. We'd fly in his little airplane, covered in bedsheets, said he. A week after I flew with him and went back to the north west he and a friend of his crashed that plane in the ground. 1971, I believe. Wish I could remember his girlfriends name. She was a dear.
Sorry, I don't want to hijack your thread.

Thanks, thawk, a fine set of knives. I've been carrying my 104OT every day for the last couple of weeks, and it has done everything I asked of it.
