Schrade Cut Co. Arched 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.

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 Cut Co. Arched Stamp

Post by Dragunski »

This is supposed to be one of the earliest Schrades, 1904-1917. The guy wants big bucks for it, especially considering the condition. I don't have any like this, all my Cut Co.s are straight line. The only ones I have that are arched are G. Schrade's.

Any comments on this stamp?

I looked at it pretty carefully, to see if I could see a "G" in front of the Schrade. I also don't think any of the George Schrade's had "Cut Co." underneath. He doesn't show enough to see if it says Walden or B'Port.

It looks more like this one below, with the "Schrade" in a slightly bigger font than the "Cut Co."

That knife is as described. It is NOT George Schrade of Bridgeport, Connecticut. It is OUR beloved. A little stiff on the price.

I like how you said that. I've been collecting Schrades for some time, yet I've never seen one with this stamp except in pictures.

But I'm not quite ready to marry one.
