A NEW KNIFE DISPLAY

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.

A NEW KNIFE DISPLAY

Post by dweb1897 »

I picked up an entertainment center at a yard sale and decided to make the area where the TV went into a knife display. I used 1/4" oak veneered plywood for the sides ,built a miniature set of stairs, added a 3' piece of LED rope lights and cut up some 1-3/4" acrylic tubing for knife stands. I'm going to get some glass cut and put a set of doors on it. It sets a little low...can't see the Buffalo Bill Bowie if your standing, but from my recliner it's perfect. Pardon the Canal Street drop point.

What a nice job on a very nice display! Thanks for showing it. I know every one of those knives by heart; I must be some kind of Schrade knut. I guess none of my many attempts to email you ever came through, Doug.

Very smart looking display, it goes well with the other things around it. Maybe you ought to think about making display cases for sale... ::pace::

Thanks to everyone for their kind words, it great to get feedback from other collectors. As for selling displays, that would take time away from searching for more knives.
