Schrade ID

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.

It's a small stockman, Greg. A peanut usually has a clip main blade and pen secondary blade on one end of a knife that's less than 3" long when closed. Usually.
Pen knife can mean any small knife but the picture I get in my mind when I hear pen knife is a knife that's less than 3" with a pen blade at each end.

When you get into the pattern names for knives, "It's a jungle out there". I have a Winchester 2921 two blade jack and I've seen it called a Coffin Jack, English Jack and Coke Bottle Jack.

This may help. It just confuses me more. http://www.knifecollector.net/PocketKnifePatterns.html

If I've told you things you already know or things that are not accurate, please forgive me because T.J. is a knife addict.

I think this knife came out in 1947, and yours, with the stamping on all blades, with no USA in the stamping, would indicate it to be one from that time frame. Nice to see it with bone handles too, many were composite in this pattern. This illustration is from the 1947 catalog.
