1926 Schrade Automobile Knife
Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2025 11:17 pm
I found this knife at a pawn shop with a bunch of junk knives. It was interesting and when I saw the Schrade Cut Co. Walden NY tang stamp I was intrigued. I paid $5 for it and headed home. I thought it was a weird variation of a camp knife as what I expected to be a can opener blade was something else entirely. I finally found info on it by doing a Google Picture search. The only result was Page 10 of a 1926 Schrade Catalog. It identifies it as an Automobile knife. This one has the solid nickel-silver handles, #9039 GSIL.
Does anyone have any additional information about this knife ? Was this the only year they made them? I believe it is a rare piece since I have never seen one before and cannot find a photo of one anywhere. It is going in a display case. I live in NYS and love the history of these old knives.
