These lists seem to be more complete and have more products listed in them than the shortline catalogs do. The shortcoming of my list is that I do not have Retail or Distributor price lists for all those years. This list of tools and knives are taken from the shortline catalogs, Retail and Distributor price lists from 1973 through 2004. The Apex and Tradesman brands were made primarily at the Schrade plant in Ireland. It is also possible that they were new products introduced in 1989. The inclusion of these knives in the Schrade catalogs may have been an effort to combine the products within the Imperial/Schrade family. The Jackmaster and Diamond Edge names are old Imperial names, (Diamond Edge was acquired by Imperial from Shapleigh Hardware). I am not sure what the reason for this is. I have nothing from the Apex, Jackmaster or Diamond Edge Plus lines in any of my catalogs prior to 1989. This model had the large locking jaws on it, similar to the current Vice Grip model #26SG. In addition to the two models sold by Schrade, there was a third model sold exclusively by Vice Grip. This tool is a collaboration between Schrade and Vice Grip. The ST6H has a small screwdriver instead of the can opener on the ST6. There are two basic models of the Toughgrip, the ST6 & the ST6H. He carries it regularly on the farm and says it is heavy enough to use for fencing. I showed one to my Dad and had to give him one. My favorite Schrade tool is the Toughgrip. Even the less expensive Schrade multi-tools work at least as well as my Leatherman did, and are more comfortable to use. After I purchased several of Schrade's different multi-tools, I gave my Leatherman to a fellow headed to Africa. For many years I carried a Leatherman Tool every day. I have most of the multi-tools on this list and have used them. The knife is in the handle is used to cut away the broken sheetrock and the putty knife blade is there to spread the patching plaster. This makes an excellent tool when repairing drywall. I especially like the putty knife and scraper (TM44 & TM45) with the large sheepfoot blade in the handle. I have a number of these tools that I use personally and have been very happy with them. These are a less expensive line of knives and tools, but in my experience are very good quality for the price. The Tradesman line first appears in my 1991 Retail Price List. This is evident in some of the tools they manufactured. Throughout Schrade's history they were a company that excelled in new innovations. All Information Courtesy of Dale Vincent - AAPK Username: orvet
