SCHRADE Final Production Certificate

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.

SCHRADE Final Production Certificate

Post by koldgold »

I have often seen these Final Production Certificate on ebay - some times listed as "the Larst knife ever made" by Schrade.
I have a book of 100 pagers of these Final Production Certificates...
NOW a seller is trying to sell one of these Final Production Certificates for $25 or buy-it-now $45.
That is not all, the postage is $45...
Just look for "Final Production Certificate" on eBay......Ken

Ironically I do not believe those were even printed by Schrade. ::facepalm::
I think that was something put together by Smoky Mountain or Blue Ridge Knives to help them sell the stuff they bought at the factory sale.

Hi Ken,
I did get my "new" '74 Chevy pickup. When the weather gets decent, i.e. it stops pouring rain, stops the 50 MPH winds or stops snowing, (we have had all three in the last 24 hours), I will have to get some pics for you.

Have a Merry Christmas! ::tu::

Hey, Dale, it would be great if we could get a snapshot of your Chevy with the tailgate down and all your Schrades, and my 1979 Ford in like circumstances, both together! That would be a shot!

LOL! It seemed like SMKW was tossing in a few certificates with every order. If they're worth $50 apiece, or even $25, I'm a wealthy man. ::ds::

The only ones I find even slightly interesting are the special certificates that are actually signed by the people involved in the liquidation. Even so, they have no value other than as accessories when included with the knife.

Well, if you drive out to Oregon in April for the OKCA show, you could buy a bunch of Schrades (so you didn't have to transport all your Schrades out here - that much weight would mess up your mileage), and we can park our trucks beside one another and display knives & take some pics!

Maybe by April we will be through with the rain, wind & snow! ................................................ I hope! :shock:
