Close up Photos of Schrade Stag WW2 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.

Close up Photos of Schrade Stag WW2 set

Post by Timstools »

Here are some photos of my WW2 set now that I was able to find the last one in set.
It is very difficult to show the details of the blade etch in a photo the way Schrade displayed them in their timber box. So here they are lined up together, it is rare to see all them displayed together in one photo as this.

The Pearl Harbour Bowie Below was the centre Peice of the set. I am now am uncertain what the whole set retailed for from Schrade but it was quite High, if anyone knows I would be interested.
The Pearl harbour Bowie appears slightly longer in bottom pic.

Thanks, they are nice, here is a photo I saved of anothers set that is not my own, its a white bone set, sorry it doesnt display very well through box but you can see that it is beautiful.

I think LT has a very rare WW2 set with white bone on one side and brow bone on the other.

There was also "D-Day" set done with no gold fill of the major beach heads, Sword, Juno, Omaha and Utah.

I believe this is the D Day set you referenced. Schrade did not do a collaboration with zippo ( as these pics would seen to indicate ) However this is how I bought this particular piece the seller ( who was a collector matched the zippo WWII lighters up with the D Day knives and made up this case which I rather like they, go together well.
