The Knifes Of Walden

Is there anybody out there.... :confused: Oh well, I'll just keep pluggin' along.... maybe someone will stumble by before I finish building the wall....
with knives.... :eek::rolleyes::D

Next up…. in 1903, Tom Brady Jr. , owner of New York Knife Co. sells out to the Fuller Brothers, owners of the Electric Cutlery Co. of Newark, N.J. (est.1889). Knives stamped “Electric Cutlery Co. / Walden” become an additional product line made along side the Hammer Brand. The Newark, NJ factory is shutdown in 1910 and the Fuller Bros. continued running NYKC until it went bankrupt and shutdown for good in 1931.

This slimline knife is of a more unusual style (don’t know the name of it if there is one) with a candy stripped celluloid covers.

Does anyone have more info about this kind of knife?

Continuing my one man show.... :eek::(:rolleyes:

When New York Knife came to Walden in 1856, they did change their name to Wallkill River Works, but then changed it back around 1860.
To find one of these knives would probably be like finding the Holy Grail.

New York Knife Co. reintroduced the Wallkill River Works product line in 1928 as an economy line, probably as a last ditch effort to turn things around for the company. It only lasted for three years until the company closed under bankruptcy. So most Wallkill River Works knives that survive today come from this short period.

It seems my examples seem to be of the more eccentric styles. Another slimline.... at 3 11/16" it larger the the Electric Cutlery I have of this style (still waiting for someone to post the name of....).... the construction of this stockman pattern of which has a single piece U−shaped brass liner that the celluloid candy−stripped covers are pinned to and also conceals the backsprings. This folder has seen some hard use based on the blade wear, but all 3 blades still have excellent snap & only the main spear has a slight wobble to it.... so as a 76 to 79 year old "economy" knife that shows obvious signs of being someone's EDC for quite some time, it has held up pretty well....

darn for some reason the photo's are not coming thru. would love to see these early knives.
 
Again!.... I don't why it is with this board that photos display only for me & no one else!
Well I'm guess I'm going to abandon this. If anyone is really interested in this topic,
I have a duplicate of it over @ All About Pocket Knives (AAPK) board where I don't have these issues and there's an active discussion going on.
To find it just follow the path....

Yup posting images can be a little tricky. And yes this subboard is no longer very active. Mainly a respository of information and history. Every now and again if something entirely new is found it will be shared.

Nice knives btw.
 
Well I'll ask again, what has happened to this once very active forum. You never see our moderator Codger here anymore. What's up. The Buck forum has a lot more activity than this one. I know there is still interest in old Schrades as I have people bidding against me on the auction site. I may make a separate post of the same question.
 
Old Codger is a moderator but not of this subforum. Schrade is defunct now for 14 years almost. And we have spent those 14 years building a knowledge database here. No wonder that the subforums of companies still in business like Buck have more traffic?

I drop by from time to time. I answer questions when I know the answers (or more likely where to find them) unless someone else beats me to it. Please do continue to post here. You can use an off site photohost to post pictures like Tinypic or Photobucket. Upload there and post the link here. Or, if I am not mistaken, you can upload photos here with a paid membership.
 
I think the new forum look has buried the Schrade forum to where people can't readily find it. You really have to know where it is...
 
Just save this subforum URL in your favorites and it will pop up like magic every time. Saves a lot of going thru menus to get here.
