Schrade Tang Stamp Confirmation

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 Tang Stamp Confirmation

Post by jerryd6818 »

Am I correct? This is '46-'76? The one in the list has the Stainless below the Walden and above the N.Y. U.S.A.

Thanks fellas. So '46-'73 it is. The knife is supposed to be here today. I'll get pictures posted as soon as I can. In the meantime, here's one of the sellers pictures.

BTW, anyone have a shackle that would fit this old feller?

Jerry, the tang stamp on the S-W Riggers knife you bought is identical to the one I bought last week - in fact they appear to be twins. OH

Seriously though, nice pickup Jerry! Sorry, don't have any spare shackles for that. Incidentally, this version I own didn't have a lock at all... :shock:

Let's see those pics when you get it in... (and nice one also, OH) ::tu::

Oh, lordy, lordy fellas. Please don't tell me that marlin spike locks. I was so hoping the knife is a yachtsman and not a riggers knife. I should have known though, when I saw the mount for the shackle. ::facepalm::

Glenn or Colonel -- What's the chances of getting dimensions on yours? I suppose I can make a replacement. It just won't have the "Press Down" stamped on it.

Jerry, The overall length of the look is 1-3/16", interior width at pin is 1/8", interior width at loop end is 3/16", width of flat side is 5/32" for most of the distance, but widens to 5/16" at pinned end.

Jerry, check your knife once you receive it - mine is so worn that you don't have to press down to unlock - it will unlock without the lever. OH

Thanks for the measurements Colonel.

The marlin spike on this one doesn't even have a "latch" on it. It's more like the spike on a yachtsman. The tang on the spike also looks bent and it has an 1/8" of play side to side. It's easy to see in the second picture. Blade is good except for a couple of bug bites in the cutting edge.

It is the same pattern as the CASE loom fixer. Here is an interesting read: http://library.uml.edu/clh/OH/MWOL/Cote.pdf
