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.
Since Schrade closed down in 2004, I often see the Green 55OT knives for-sale.
However, the smaller Green 53OT knives never show up for sale or on AAPN.
Any information on these smaller Green knives? Did they come in a box?
I have some of the Small Green 53OTs in Clam packs - However I have never seen them in a box … Ken

HI FROM AUSTRALIA A.A.P.N. # 5197: Member of Australian & U.S Blade Forums...KEN - I collect Schrade knives - made in the U.S.A.- I like the 8OT
I'm thinking you don't see alot of them because this pattern was only offered for a few years (2002-2003) and they were the perfect size for pocket carry

Thank You for the replay Ozzie,
Although I have been collecting Schrade knives since 1973, I did not start my collection of Schrade items made from 2000 to 2004 until about 2006. Some of the late items made by Schrade have become very hard to find... Ken
