Knives are among the oldest tools known to man. We’ve had som­e version of the knife since the Stone Age, when primitive hunter-gatherers chipped flakes from the sides of wedge-shaped stones to form blades [source: Encyclopedia Britannica].  After that there were knives made of bronze, then iron, and later, steel, as knowledge of metalwork progressed.  The concept of the knife of the years has never changed but the designs have.In 1904 Louis, Joe and George Schrade started a company that would become one of the leading cutlery manufacturers in the world, the name of this company was Schrade Cutlery Company.  After many changes over the years, it became Imperial Knife Associated Companies.  In 1985 Imperial Knife Associated Companies became Imperial Schrade Corp. eventually becoming a leading division of Taylor Brands LLC. Today Schrade has reconstituted some of these well known brands while continuing to grow and maintain a well earned reputation for quality, value and customer service.
