some fake education

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.

some fake education

Post by tongueriver »

Here is a Bear and Son fake Schrade, with an original authentic plastic tube. The seller refused to change the listing after being informed of the exact situation, so I feel comfortable showing his bogus listing here. If he had corrected the listing I never would do such a thing, because none of us knows everything. Here it is:

To those familiar with Schrade, that knife clearly is not a Schrade Walden even though that is what is stamped into the tang. His authentic tube is a Schrade not a Schrade-Walden tube, so mis-match all around.

Seems as though this guy has previously sold a lot of Schrade knives.

Did you read the last part of what he added to description ?
"selling collections that my Dad and Son owned and they have both passed"
I cannot imagine the sadness involved.
