Schrade XX tested knife?

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.

Schrade XX tested knife?

Post by rocko1 »

I was walking thru a antique shop the other day and I think I saw a schrade double x tested, single blade, lock back.The blade was etched with some writing. It said Schrade XX tested Wofferton or something like that. It was in a box, and the knife had ivory or ivory color handles. We where in a hurry and I did not look to closely. Does anybody know anything about this. There where a lot of knives in the showcase, so maybe I got the nome confused.After we got home I thought I should have looked closer.

Rocko, it was likely a Schrade IXL Wostenholm knife. They did several models in bone with scrimshaw nautical scenes. Here are a couple of examples:
