Special Old Work Horses

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.

Special Old Work Horses

Post by Schradenut »

From right back when i stated collecting Schrade knives, i always wanted a 2ot. At that time they didn't ever show up on 'the bay', and then along came Larry303, and parted with one of his treasured. As the years went by i acquired 2 from Larry, and was fortunate enough to pick up the other odd one along the way. The one in the box is ex sanders Knives, and is a real beauty...not cheap though.
To me the 2ot is like a horse in the late 50's, they were there to be used and not just admired.
My hunger for 2ot's has been satisfied, and i now enjoy looking at them every time i pass my knife cabinet.
I thought you all might like a squiz.
Tony.

Great collection Tony. Now I understand why you will not let me into that room unsupervised.

That is a handful of beauty there, quite nice to see them all together. I can see why you are proud of that.

Thanks for sharing them with us!

I had no idea there were so many varieties. Thanks for the 2OT education. Super group.

Beautiful set Tony. Gotta say, there's just something familiar about that cracked ice celluloid.

Wow great knives. I don't think I've ever seen one before.
