Help needed in identifying Schrade Set.

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.

Help needed in identifying Schrade Set.

Post by Schradenut »

I recently purchased this beautiful Schrade boxed set. The seller couldn't help me, but i thought i would be able to track down the history....not so. There was nothing apparent on the net, so i thought i would throw it amongst all you knowledgeable guys, and see what came up.
It is a magnificent set of 5 knives, all with green bone handles, with an oval rope shield, and the main blades are etched "Special Edition". They are contained in a super nice timber box, with a hinged glass lid.
I am thinking a SFO, but have no idea who for. My hopes lie with you guys.....i thank you in advance.
Tony.

I think the scales are wood, walnut maybe.
It is a very nice set. I would give SMKW a call on this one. It could be a set made for them.
It looks like a similar set they did around 2000 to 2002 for Ducks unlimited.

I have just noticed that the PH2 from this set is for sale on ebay(351099895229), for $150, Buy Now. I tried to contact the guy, buy he doesn't like Aussies. Would someone from the US be kind enough to to check with this joker to see if he can shed any light on the history...many thanks.
Tony.
