schrade 153UH

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.

Is there a way to date this knife by the serial numbers?

Not sure what you mean by serial numbers......but there is a way to loosely date Schrade knives.

See this tang stamp chart for knives:

I have never seen records from Schrade of when they used which serial numbers on which models.
For the most part Schrade was interested in making and selling knives, not keeping records. Mostly Schrade made tools, knives people used in their daily lives, it was only in the last few years of the company that they even made a modest effort to tap into the collectable knife market.
