Question About This Schrade Tang Stamp

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.

Post by jerryd6818 »

What can y'all tell me about this Schrade tang stamp? Is it perhaps a factory second?

That is the stamp that Schrade used on their seconds during the Schrade Walden era . (Some of the 2nd's of that era would be considered as 1st's today) ! ::facepalm::

I haven't seen that before Jerry, but I would think it is a second.

Bob, I suspect some of the 1st today would have
gone into the parts bin or smelter back then.
Of course I could be wrong. Has happened before.

That knife is in with a group of three and goes off today (Sun. 5/27) at 0800 PDT. It's currently at $45. I thought about bidding on it but I can see it's left my neighborhood and headin' for downtown.
