SW239

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.

From 1932 supplement. The Schrade Walden version was probably quite early, 1947 to very early 1950s. The black celluloid has been shown to be extremely stable.

Looking in the Blades Guides To Knives and Their Values page 162 its could be a Sway-Back Jack.When it was made ,all I can say is before 1973 .I could not find it in the price lists..
I found a reference to a 2394 1/2B Schrade Cut Co.barehead 3 9/16".
Page 172 value $75. (listed under Curved Jacks and Congress Jacks )
Hope this helps.
