Stumped on this one...

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.

Stumped on this one...

Post by CheckSix »

3 Blade: Clip, Sheepsfoot & Spey and very highly polished. Closed length is 3-9/16" The knife back is milled, clearly seen in the bolsters. Tang stamp as seen in the photo below, is pre-'73. Schrade Walden NY U.S.A. NO shield. No model # is stamped on any of the tangs. If it had a shield... I'd say it's an 825 / 825SS Western. It fits the 825 description perfectly, except no shield.

What does the Schrade Cognoscenti think about this one?

It is an unfinished 2004 Cigar Box Classic. Model CSW98, Tree Bark Bone. They have a nostalgic tang stamp for these special editions on the mirror polished stainless blades. It is missing the cigar box, shield and serial number. Very nice knives. I have a couple in different patterns than yours and I included a picture of your model in completed form with cigar box. I also included an unfinished 2003 green bone CBC muskrat that I just picked up with another knife in auction. I think I may have to carry that one. :D
