Some USA made Schrades.

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.

Some USA made Schrades.

Post by Producer »

Here's some of my Schrades.
No matter how much I have tried and liked other brands I always go back to the Schrades.
I grew up with them-and Buck,Gerber etc. The last Schrade I bought retail was a 34OT at a True Value hardware store in 2004. They were on sale for like $7.00 or something.
I didn't know they were shutting down or I would have bought the entire stock.
I've managed to accumulate five 34's so I guess I'' be allright. :)

By the way, it's a strange feeling the first time you realize that your knives will outlast you!

Thanks Wayne.

By the way, I'm not 100% sure if the Sears 100th Anniversary Stockman was in fact made by Schrade. Either them or Camillus I'd say. I've been told it was made by Schrade. I've seen another at an aution site saying this model was made in 1993. The main blade has a swedge like a Camillus. The knife is excellant with an almost rubberized grip and nice snaps all around.

If anybody knows if it was Schrade made please let me know.
Thanks for looking, Producer

That's more than a "bunch" of knives my friend, that's a tradition!

Nice collection!
