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.

As far as I know they are the only ones, courtesy of Herman Williams. The smooth red bone is a favorite of mine and the first knife my dad gave me was a Schrade Walden 233, so Herman put red bone and an 83 shield on a 2331 for me. Most of the Limited Edition sets have a fixed blade and I thought the Heritage should too, so he fixed a sharpfinger up.
Here are the two Heritage knives that donated their shields.attachment=0]8041 HERITAGE WHITTLER.JPG[/attachment]

I have a hard time trusting someone who doesn't like dogs...but if my dog doesn't like someone, I'll trust that.
Acorn, a better friend than I deserved, gone but never forgotten...run fast and free 11-5-2018 I'll see you soon
After those red bone knives it's hard to follow, with my new to me, OLD Schrade display.
I always like to get knives out of boxes and into Displays... Ken.

It's not a fancy display and they're not all Schrades but they are all bones.There's a few Camillus, an Ulster, a Case, a couple Westerns and an Imperial. A lady on Ebay sent me a knife in the Dog Box.

dweb, I love the Schrade Red Bone 3 knife sets. Do you have the boxes or case for them?
This is an unfinished Red Bone Anniversary 34 Stirling Silver Old Timer - I payed $6 for it many years ago. I intended to have the scale finished off, but over the years started to like it the way it is... Ken
Then I found another Red Bone knife with a very bad crack in the bone; Dale fixed that for me.

This display is made up of the Amber pick bone set..minus the sharpfinger, Blue pick bone set, Green wood set, and the 4 Old Timer Classics...All in an 18" x 12" display frame. I don't particularly like displaying them pile side out but it was the only way to get them all in the frame. The Amber Sharpfinger is in a 152 display. Obviously I have limited space to display my knives.

Wow, they are some of the very hard sets to find.
I have the same Blue picked Bone set.
However, the flag is missing and to-date I have not been able to find one.

Thanks for the compliment Ken. Schrade made great looking knives, few people would disagree with that, and while I love all things Schrade, I have never been big fan of their displays. If I had a room that I could dedicate to Schrade knives and displays I'd probably leave them in the frames the factory put them in. I hang mine in my livingroom, bedroom and anywhere else you would hang a picture, artwork or a mirror; so I think of my displays as art. Boxes, tubes, sheaths, and paperwork are just items that add to the price I have to pay for a knife and something I have to store. I'm old enough that I most likely won't be the one selling these knives. Most sets are broken up because they bring more money separately than as sets, all except these three sets. Other than the OTC knives, I've rarely seen any of these knives sold individually or I'd give you the flag. If anyone is interested I have a couple Schrade inserts I'd just as soon get rid of.

That is an awesome display Doug. You have arranged them beautifully. Some very rare displays in that lot.
You have quite a few of these displays now, me favorite being the white bone set re-handled by Herman Williams.
Tony.
Thanks for the good words Tony...I haven't received all the knives that I hope to have in the white bone collection but I will have a picture of the ones I do have, arranged in a display, in the next day or two.

That is a beautiful barlow and I agree with you...it would look good in my house. I sent you a PM but I guess you never got it.
