Schrade Walden 974

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 Walden 974

Post by Mountainwind »

Tang stamp on this is Schrade Walden NY USA. From what I can find,
I take it this may be a Ulster Schrade Walden.
I can actually find very little on the 974 anywhere. Is it somewhat rare, or did it just not catch on and had little interest thru the years?

Thanks Randy. The seller had three listed, I would have bought all three, but I had other autcions going... which I lost. 2nd shift really bites.
I wanted a 861 also, but by the time I got out of bed, they were all gone.
I did manage to get two of the 974s, which I am kinda happy with.
I guess $75 was a decent price, as all sold out very quickly, including the 861s.
