I don't do celluloid, but if I did...

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.

Just a heads-up for fans of old Schrade celluloid. Deal Alert! I am in no way associated with the seller.

I need that knife like another hole in the head but for $11 why not. Cheaper than a six pack of beer, but I might buy one of those too. Actually, I have a very large quantity of celluloid Schrade knives and like them very much.

Celluloid is a case of "It aint if, but when". I prefer Mother of Pearl. I have a 1990s German Buck Creek in waterfall celluloid (handmedown--I would NOT have bought it myself), and it's eventually going to be a Buck Creek Diamondback in stag, since I have Buck Creeks that have, quite literally, rusted in half thanks to outgassing Mother of Toilet Seat.

Nice looking lobster! For $11, I'll say you did really well. Typically, that's what I buy, most of the time. I cringe spending more than $20 on one knife.

That's why I let it pass. Another reason is that I spent $100CAD on Schrade yesterday. I'm happy the 865 found a good home.

I have a big bunch of those Lobster knives if anyone wants some. None show any signs of handle deterioration.
