Schrade OT Covers

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.

The Ulster Utility pattern used in the Prince Albert offer Old Timer knives had jigged scales, but I dont' know if they're Delrin or not.

Jigged delrin was not used on old timers but it was used on open stock models. They were practically the same knives as the old timers except the jigged handles and slightly different stamps which were the pattern numbers that differed from the ot line.

You are correct Cody, the Ulster Old Timer camp knife, the 114OT did have jigged handles and they were indeed Delrin.
That is the only exception I am aware of and it was branded Ulster, not Schrade. Apart from that exception Paul's statement is correct.

The Open Stock patterns were often the models upon which the Old Timer patterns were based. Aside from the handle materials, tang stamps & shields there is very little difference between an 834 Open Stock and a 34OT. As Paul said they are practically the same knife.
