schrade heritage pocket knives 1984

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.

Welcome to AAPK! ::welcome::

We love pictures of knives here! ::nod::

If you can post pictures of the knives and the display it would be helpful for us in determining the price, otherwise it is just a guessing game as to the value.

As a side note; the first place I go to look for a value is to eBay and see if I can find the same knife or knives that have sold recently. Ignore the asking prices, they sometimes have no basis in reality, but if you can find the same set or a similar set that has sold recently, you should be in the right ballpark price wise.

Welcome aboard! ::tu::
We hope you stick around and enjoy the knives!

It is really pretty easy to post pictures.
At AAPK we host all pictures on our own site because when someone drops their photo hosting service the pictures go away on AAPK. Since many members use AAPK for research we like to have the pictures remain in the thread.

When you open a window to make a post there is a bar below the box that says Upload attachment
Click the "Browse" button and locate the file on your computer then click the "Add the file" button and it will upload the file to AAPK.

Hope this helps,
Dale

C.B. here's some 'Heritage' background that may help (hopefully)
Original Heritage Series with dated & coin edged shields, fluted
bolsters, bone handles, and the 'Everlastingly Sharp' blade trade-
mark first issued in 1983 and ran thru 1986. Some other Heritage
marked knives were issued in later years but they differ from the
'83-'86 originals. Individual knives came in a hinged blue top box with
'Schrade's Heritage' and Ellenville, New York 12428 in gold lettering
on top. Boxes originally came with slip on white sleeve with pattern
# stamped on one end with black ink. Pattern #s unique to Heritage
like 2941-G for 285UH sized trapper in green bone. Heritage knives
available in green, red, or brown smooth bone. IIRC The Barlow was
replaced in 1985-86 with the 33 pattern jack knife.
As Orvet mentioned, sold prices in the 'Bay' best real time current price indicator.
If no sets like yours in there, research prices of individual Heritage knives
same year and color (if possible) My wild guess based on experience with
them several years ago would be $50/knife plus a little for the case assuming
all is like new with papers & box.
Hope this helps 8)
