Lock-backs LB2 & LB3

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 LB2 is fairly uncommon. I think it was made for K-Mart only. Same size as the LB1 with Staglon handles.

LB3 - They are around on Ebay on occasion, and pretty popular.

You are correct Thawk......

The LB-2 was made exclusively for KMart. They aren't Rare, however, they do bring good money if you can find one.
