How do u no what age is of Old Timer

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.

Well, they're no older than 1975, before that they'd be stamped "Schrade-Walden". Here's a link to an excellent post on dates compiled by Orvet:

PS- Forgot to mention, Schrade NY predates the plain Schrade stamp. Not quite sure when it was dropped, but I don't think it made it into the 1980's.

Well, first off, Schrade USA closed it's doors in 2004 so Schrade knives are no longer made in the USA.

Here's a little info for ya on dates and such:

The good news is Canal Street Cutlery now operates in the same facility that Schrade did in Ellenville, NY and there are a number of past employees of Schrade now handcarfting knives for Canal Street Cutlery!!

Just a short drive further south from the old main Schrade plant, CSC are located in the old Ulster knife factory on Canal Street.
