Little 863 whittler

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.

Little 863 whittler

Post by Capt. Farrel »

This little bugger showed up on Ebay. The little clip blade was heavily scratched and it has a few rustmarks. Apart from that it doesn´t look like it has been used very much. I didn´t have a swell-center in my collection up to now so this is a nice addition.

Excellent find Skipper. Are you going to carry it or does it just go into the pile?

@Grant: Great collection! Someone said Schrades are addicive, I guess he was right as I now want more of those Whittlers! :lol: :lol: :lol:

@Jerry: All those US patterns and brands are a bit hard to get here in Germany so I am a bit reluctant to use my precious finds. It´s a bit embarrassing but I keep EDC´ing a chinese made Sowbelly for several month meanwhile... :oops: :oops: :oops:
