Grand Dads Old Timer Barlow

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.

Looking for info and value of this knife. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Limited edition. Unused in the box with all the original paperwork, boxes, polishing pad(crumbling). Matching numbers on box and knife. Again, thanks for any help.

Welcome Muddbone!

They were put out in 1974-75, part of a four knife series commemorating Schrade's 70th anniversary. Between 10,000 and 12,000 produced I believe. Value I think would be somewhere around forty bucks give or take ten. It all depends on the customer.

Nice find Mudd! ::tu::

They were made with serial number and without serial number.
I have one like yours in the same type box that has a serial number on the bolster.
I also have another that has no serial number.
My assumption is that the one without serial number was less expensive and the one with serial number was made for collectors.
Perhaps Eric knows more about the unnumbered ones.
