George M. Schrade, der Enkel von George Schrade, schreibt in dem Text „George Schrade and his accomplishments to the Knife Industry“ (http://www.collectors-of-schrades-r.us/articles/george.pdf), dass George Schrade 1912 nach einem Aufenthalt in England nach Deutschland (Solingen) ging und dort eine Fabrik für Springmesser gründete:
„George Schrade and his son George M. Schrade left England and went to Solingen, Germany, where they set up a push-button knife factory. While in Germany, George Schrade designed and patented another type of automatic knife. It is known as the springer knife, which is manufactured in Germany today. I have been told that he sold his patent to a German company.
The steel for the blades from Solingen was the best for keeping a cutting edge. This is why he set up a factory there. He also made scales for pocket knives. They were in Germany for four years. The German government confiscated all their equipment and raw material for use in the war effort. They were forced to leave the country and leave everything they had behind them. In 1916, he returned to New York with his son, George.”
Nun habe ich bei meinen Recherchen keinerlei Hinweise auf Patente oder Gebrauchsmuster von George Schrade gefunden, die in Deutschland vor 1916 eingetragen wurden, auch fand ich keinerlei Hinweise auf seine „Springmesser-Fabrik“ in Solingen.
Ich würde mich über freuen, wenn jemand Informationen zur Richtigkeit des Textes von George M. Schrade beisteuern könnte.
