old timer

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.

Great knives!! Here are the first two, originally out in bone handles. The jack is a 2OT, and of course the stockman is an 8OT, late 1950's intro on both of them:

I don't really "collect" them per se but I've probably got more around than I will admit to.
Quality should not be an accident. So what is the explanation for some of the knives we've seen in the past few years? (from A Knifebuyer's Manifesto)

Just picked up a "real" Old Timer yesterday. An older 8OT, with the model # stamped on the pile side and with the matchstrike nail nick. I believe I own a half dozen or so Old Timers now. They're a good, well built knife that's withstood the test of time. ::tu:: Bull ( this is my second 8ot,but I just can't pass on a good buy for a good knife. It's an addiction!! )

Neat. I haven't seen that 75th anniversary before, or a 7OT in gift box.

This is one of my favorite Old Timers; the 902OT.

It is the only non-knife Old Timer I am aware of.

Does anyone else have one?
