All About Pocket Knives

Last Saturday I took a ride to Ellenville to visit the new knife museum. The first person I met was Richard "Doc" Craft. When I introduced myself he thought I was joking. No, really, I'm George Schrades great grandson. He wouldn't let go of my hand and led me in to meet Richard Langston. We talked at length about the history of the Schrade knife companies and other companies that manufactured knives in the area. These gentlemen are doing a great work keeping the history and legacy of an era gone by alive. It's worth the trip to see what they have created at the museum and to hear the stories they have collected from cutlers and residents who worked and lived in the area.

Nice to hear Bill

I hope to visit someday soon

Thanks for posting, Bill.
I saw George Schrades stiddy at a knife show in Connecticut a couple years ago.

I wish those tools could talk.

I am glad you made it to the museum and met Rich.
I hope to make it back there some day.
Rich is kind of infectious in his enthusiasm for Schrade knives and their history!

I wouldn't let go of your hand either.

Thanks for sharing!
