At last I have two Schrade Lake & Walker-D'holder sets

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.

At last I have two Schrade Lake & Walker-D'holder sets

Post by koldgold »

It has taken me five years to find four Schrade knives, to make two sets of the Schrade LWD displays.
I have just found another "Lake & Walker one", with a BG42 blade.
The "Lake & Walker two" are hard to find, however the "LW one" never come up for sale too offten.
I would like to know what ever happened to them, 1000 where made by Schrade in 2000.... Ken

I don’t know either.
It may be they the order response was small and they didn’t complete the production of all 1000. But that is pure speculation on my part. We may never know for certain unless someone from the old Schrade factory tells us.

Hi Dale,
I note; the retail price of both knives was $200 each.
The D'holder, I would think would be a good buy in 2000-2001.
However, I would say the Lake & Walker knife would be hard to sell at $200. Ken ::shrug::

I have an Australian "Schrade price list" it lists the Lake & Walker II at: A$88 Trade and A$189 Retail.

It looks like the hard to find “limited numbered Schrade SLW1 - with the BG24 blade”
Has very little support or interest shown by Schrade collectors.
