Schrade 50T

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.

My father bought me this knife about 30 years ago. It’s a Schrade 50T. I used it a lot for a few years but I put it up in hopes to keep it for my son when he’s old enough to have one.

Hi dbaxter, Welcome to AAPK! ::welcome::
Your 5OT (OT for Old Timer) was made from 1987 to 1998. You must have one from the first few years of production.
I have see a lot of Schrades that are passed from generation to generation, I have my grandfather's 34OT, it is a nice way to remember the preceding generations.

Welcome aboard! ::tu::

Welcome, dbaxter! Nice knife, the 5OT; I really like them. I gave one to a friend who used it to field dress a BUNCH of game animals. I see that yours does have the + sign, which means stainless steel.
