possible thread description elucidation

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.

possible thread description elucidation

Post by tongueriver »

I wish we could delineate the difference between "your old Schrade" and "your latest Schrade." It seems we all have different definitions. One possible definition of "old Schrade" would be pre-Delrin (pre-1961)? What do you think?

I think the idea to have old knives in the same thread is very good, however 1961 as a cut-off date is difficult for all except experienced Schrade collectors.
How about making Schrade Walden 'old' and Schrade, 'recent' ?

Ahh but when you eschew obfuscation you are avoiding it, thus you are elucidating.
