Schrade 2 line 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.

Schrade 2 line tang stamp

Post by orvet »

Here is a Sharp Finger I picked up recently off ebay.
152OT -Guns & Ammo.jpg
Obviously it was an SFO for Guns & Ammo magazine (see shield). It has a carbon steel blade, but the most remarkable thing to me about this knife is the tang stamp.
It is a simple 2 line stamp: SCHRADE/U.S.A.

I have seen this stamp before on a 154OT, but it is not often that this 2 line stamp shows.
Has anyone else seen this 2 line stamp? If so, on which models?

Thank you,
Dale

Well look who showed up. I hope you're well, Keith. Pick up any Camillus 72s or clones lately? Do you know why there wasn't a fall Badger show this year?
