Rounding up some Stags.

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.

Rounding up some Stags.

Post by Schradenut »

The first time i saw one of these etchings, i had to keep going and get the set. After some research i discovered that there were 5 knives in total.
My next task was to keep a keen eye out for them when they bobbed their heads up, 'on the bay'. Some 2 years later and the task was completed.
I am very pleased with this lot, and they now have a prominent spot in my cabinet. Aren't they a bunch of lookers...hope you like them.
Tony.

Yes, I like them! I've never seen any one out of the set before - funny, cause you'd think gunshops and gunshows is where they would have been sold? Thanks for showing! OH

Nice set Tony!
I have not seen that etch before either.

Do you have any history on them?

Hi Dale,
Thanks for asking the question, because i haven't been able to find anything at all on the etched Sharpfinger's.

If anyone can provide any information on this set, then i would be most grateful. I hate it when you have all of something special, but none of the history.
Tony.

Guesses are cheap and common, but if I were to offer one, it might be North American Hunting Club. There are 3 species there but of course one might wonder about moose, sheep, etc. I wonder if Eric Albers might have an idea?

Very nice set, quite a collection

I know this is an old thread but the origin story was never added so now's as good a time as ever. As per codger elsewhere:

https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/sch ... t-18730627
I am beginning to go through the SMKW catalog back issues. I found the answer to these etched 152UH's in the January, 2001 issue. There were indeed five different artworks as listed above. They sold for $14.99 each and the ad states they were limited to 1,500 of each etch.

On The Run - SC152R
The Big Stag - SC152BS
Hunter’s Dream - SC152HD
The Getaway - SC152G
Hunter’s Companion - SC152HCK
I don't always respond to great posts but I always appreciate seeing them. Thanks for posting! ::tu::
