2.75 And Milled

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.

2.75 And Milled

Post by jxr1197 »

These fancy jr stockmans keep surprising me. I think there must be as many off catalog versions as there are patterns listed. In this pic there are a variety of knives from the '8' series including Walden NY as well as Walden USA stamps. Some are stainless and some are carbon. They all have the same blade complement. Really the differences are just handle material and bolsters. They're all milled with a small degree of variation in style. They date from roughly 1950-1960. It seems like the cutoff is some number of years prior to Delrin as I've noticed you won't find any 808s with milled backs and a 'SCHRADE' shield. Only the blank shield knives are milled and that seems like an age thing. The blank shields disappeared a while before Delrin. Today a wrench gets thrown in the works. The knife in the middle of the pic above the 'W' is an 818 which I see on the 1950 and 1955 price sheets. The entire back is worked, not just the liners. It looks very similar to the diamond etched back of the 1975 GDOT. I have not seen other 1950s knives like this but I'll be looking for more now. ::tu::
