Schrade Tang Stamps

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.

Schrade Tang Stamps

Post by XX Case XX »

Without knowing much about Schrade, what does it mean when the tang stamp has a + symbol on it?

The + indicates the blade is stainless.

The blades with the + are ALWAYS stainless, the blades without the + can be either stainless steel or carbon steel.
