SCHRADE KNIVES MADE IN CHINA - BEFORE 2004.

[koldgold]

What knive did Schrade have made in China? Before the Close-down in 2004.
I have some Schrade knife stamped "China" and they are 2004 SX4 Badgers.
I do have a Badger Schrade had made in Ireland also, It has a Black Blade stamped Ireland... Ken

I am disappointed to find there is very little interest in the late history and knives, made by Schrade from 2000-2004.
The SQ knives were very well made knives - The SQ 111 would have been a top seller if it had made prodution.

The "ACB Blue Bone knives" were another set of knives Schrade had in the pipeline for late 2004.

I would love to get my hands on a set of those acb blue bone knives

I do think that the later USA made knives will raise in interest in the future. Only time will tell

[Quick Steel]

I hope you are right. Those are some good looking knives.

Hi Cutty and Quick Steel

I believe most of the less expensive knives have been used, and not too many of them have been put away.
The Lake & Walker knives, I believe will become a more collectable knife as time goes by…. Ken

The Apex is one more model that was imported from China before the 2004 closure.

My collection focuses on Old Timer knives, and I have quite a few from the 2004 era. I am especially interested in the 2004 Anniversary knives and the "end of days" variations. There was a lot of strange stuff going out the door in those last couple of weeks:
