small cattle knife

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.

What are the liners made of? Many of the knife companies used steel liners during WWII, so that might be a clue. My first thought when I saw it was "early 1950s" (no real reason I can put my thumb on though--just a gut feeling).

Nice knife!

I found some answers to this small knife. It was used in the
Army Air Corps. in WWII. After the war Ulster most likely sold
the surplus stock to sears. This was found on AAPK Ulster
Collecting Knife Lore. Reported by Dimitri.

Thanks Harold
