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.

rare schrade copenhagen knife only 54 total made

Post by idabrv47 »

Copenhagen schrade knife with display case. The blade is blued. I won this about 18 years ago at the sportsmans show. The gentleman that called me to tell me I won said that there were only 50 that were given away in the drawing at the shows in the US. None of them were for sale from the manufacturers. The other 4 were given to the CEO's. A year after I got the knife I decided to put it on ebay with a reserve, the bids went up to $5 below the reserve so I kept it and put it away. I just want to so what the value is at this point. I have not seen one like this while looking on the internet. Thanks for your help.

With there only being 50 made it is hard to put a value on it.
I am not trying to be obtuse, but basically it is worth what someone will pay you for it. ::shrug::

I have seen a few sell on ebay a few years back. I don't remember the price they went for, but IIRC one sold for $85.
I don't know what they would bring now.
