Schrade Knives is a renowned American knife manufacturer, whose history is as long as it is tumultuous. The nearly one hundred and twenty-year story of the brand began in 1904. At that time, the company named Schrade Cutlery Company was founded in the small town of Walden, New York. Schrade products quickly gained popularity due to the incredibly high quality they offered. Around that time, other companies of a similar profile were also being established in the region, including the Ulster Knife Company and the Imperial Knife Company. After merging into the Imperial Knife Associated Companies, they also absorbed the Schrade Cutlery brand, creating Schrade-Walden Cutlery Co., Inc. The following years did not bring drastic changes to the company's operation until the beginning of this century.
In 2004, the rights to Schrade knives, as well as the trademarks Uncle Henry and Old Timer, were acquired by Taylor Brands. Taylor himself was by then an experienced knife designer, having collaborated with Asian manufacturers since 1975. The discontinuation of production in the USA was initially not well-received, but through years of project development and production improvements, the company has returned to its old tracks and currently delivers good quality knives at attractive prices.
Although Schrade now makes entirely different knives than before, they are associated with good quality and well-thought-out designs. Once popular, classic designs such as Uncle Henry and Old Timer have given way to modern, tactical knives. One of the more popular models in Schrade's offer is the famous Schrade Extreme Survival Knife - a large, tactical knife with a survival bias. The large blade with a distinct recurve is notable thanks to its characteristic dark powder coating, and the black handle with synthetic covers gives the tool a modern, tactical character. It's no wonder, then, that this is a frequent choice for tactical style enthusiasts around the world.
An interesting area of Schrade Knives' operations is their OTF knives. The OTF, or Out-the-front design, refers to automatic knives that open forward, not sideways. This kind of design is very complicated and difficult to manufacture, therefore it is often associated with more expensive models like Microtech knives. The American brand Schrade proves that this type of knife can also be made at a significantly more affordable price, which has earned them great popularity.
Schrade Knives are an interesting proposition for people looking for the best possible value for money. Contemporary styling maintained by the Schrade brand means that these constructions will work well in tactical tasks or as an element of urban EDC. Therefore, regardless of your knife tastes or for what purpose you are looking for tools, there is a high chance that you will find them in the Schrade Knives offer, available in the e-militaria.pl store.
