Catapulted from his press button switchblade patent in 1892, George Schrade embarked on a journey that would eventually lead to one of the most iconic knife brands ever.
SCHRADE knives are steeped in history, seeing the Industrial Revolution and two World Wars. George Schrade was dedicated to providing innovative and tough knives that served a purpose; and never settled for anything less. The current Schrade owners are eager to continue the innovative and problem-solving mentality that George Schrade built his legacy on, and continue to provide outstanding knife craftsmanship for their customers.
Here are some ideas to help you get started with this iconic brand.
