Passing of another Key Worker

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.

The passing of Harold was more than the passing of a Key Worker. Harold was one of the last of the great Schrade legends. He ranks among the greats along with names like Baer, Schrade, Swinden . His passing leaves a giant gap in this history. I knew Harold well and was always in awe of his knowledge and ability. Over the 100 years of Schrade there have been many who deserve to be remembered for there contributions and dedication to this history. None more than Harold. To watch him create was like stepping back in time and seeing a true craftsman who took pride in every thing he did. I will miss him and we will all be less for the loss of his knowledge. LT

Thank you for your condolences and LT, I could not have said it better myself. He was a MASTER Craftsman and his skills were phenominal. He will be sorely missed.
