Description

Many people collected Schrade knives over the years. Almost everyone had to have a Schrade. Much has changed, but they still make Schrade Knives and now they are coming out with new steels and new handle materials.

So old fan or new collector, Lets talk about Schrade!

    Four years later and I am reading this, I do in fact have a 1979 set with matching numbers in the retail display box. I'm not sure but I don't think the sets in display box with matching numbers were available to the public. I think those sets were for retail display, I happened to get lucky and got the set of knives with the retail display box brand new still packaged together from the factory. I know they are out there but I have not seen one yet in a personal display other than mine. I am going to try to post a couple photos.

    No problem. These were the early sets...and were sold individually, one knife at a time. In the 80's they started putting them in wood boxes or you could by the sets individually and then when you completed it get the wood box. 

    There were about 1500 of each knife / set made. I know sets in the wooden boxes were all matching serial numbers, not sure on these '79 sets.
