Schrade Fans

I know this is the best brand in the world, but at least it has good knives and tool for the price.

Actually I really like many models and consider myself a fan

Am I alone or does anyone share my toughts for the brand or some tools?

I want you to show your Schrades in this post if you like.

Nothing bad about Schrade. I have several of their older US products and some Taylor produced stuff.
Older ToughTool (U.S.A)
Newer ToughTool Black
Newer ToughTool Regular
ST11 with Lg. Scissors and Pliers

Schrade Viper liner lock folding knife (U.S)
Schrade Black liner lock folding knife (U.S)
And several of their classic style knifes (U.S.A and China stuff).

You hit the nail on the head! Fairly decent stuff at the affordable price points on their Taylor made stuff.

Are we talking about Pre-2004 Schrade USA knives or current Schrade off shore stuff? I am a huge fan of Schrade USA and have quite a few I have owned 2 off shore manufactured Schrades and gave them away. Quality was ok but not for me.

I know there are many Schrade USA fans, and no so much of Schrade (taylor brands) and now that is BTI tools division (sadly to me) are less fans but I was talking about any Schrade you want to show.

I have none USA schrade sadly

. I have started buying them since 2013 I think, so I have just China and Taiwan ones and I like them.

This is my first shcrade folder I get. This was won on a facebook GAW

I only own their vise grips and am very happy with them, they are quality tools and very well built

their SCHF-- series of fixed blades in carbon and stainless steels seem very decent, well priced, popular and reliable

Some of their flippers and folders are good looking and also good for the $ (I've heard, especially those with 9Cr steel) and I like some of their new designs a lot (SCH111, karambit neck knife is cool

)

I like new and old schrades,the new Imperial brand are well priced and good knives,the Congress and Barlow are 2 of my favourites

Their new traditional ones, whilst not totally rubish, are way worse that RR and other brands costing similar money.

I tried a few in 2010 and thought that they were very rough around the edges, gave the company some time, bought them again in 2016/17 and they still were just as bad.

Their sodbusters and LE are OKish, but RR and related make a much better knife

I've been thru a few of the non-US made models with mixed results but I have an ironwood Trapper that will cut with the best of them! I'll post a pic here soon.

I prefer the old US made Schrades.

My first good pocket knife was this Schrade-Walden large stockman in it's original box.

This knife is 59 years old.

Currently I have about 20 USA Schrades. My favorites being the 194OT Trapper and the 34OT Medium Stockman

I would love to get my hands on a USA made Cave Bear!

I've no experience with the new Schrade knives, but I do enjoy my two USA made models, I purchased the knife in 1978, and the Toughtool was a gift I think the year was1998, both still see use

I'm on the fence as far as the new schrades go. I'm a huge fan of the USA schrades, but have had several of the chinese one's that were fairly good knives. I've given all but two of them away over time, so all I have left is my old timer barlow that was a birthday gift years ago, and a schf36 that I keep in an emergency bag in my car. I will say this, Taylor brands has definitely stepped up their quality since they first bought out schrade.
