Schrade Longhorn - my first Schrade

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 Longhorn - my first Schrade

Post by Capt. Farrel »

The choice of Schrade knives is usually limited to chinese made tactical knives and other cheapos. I was quite surprised to find an american made Longhorn on the german Ebay.
It came in a fake-wood display board and a mostly deteriorated cardboard box. I spare you with pictures of the paraphernalia though....

The knife was never used and I reckon that it was made in 1975 due to the etch on the blade. Am I correct here? ::hmm::
Now I need more Schrades....... :shock:

Yes, I have the same one. I guess it´s a bad idea to store a knife for 39 years in the semi-openend position inside that display, isn´t it? :shock:

Congratulations Skipper. Good looking knife. I thank God every night I haven't contracted the Schrade bug. Good luck.
