Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Every knife in that case is an Imperial Knife Associated Companies product. Schrade patterns and Frontier patterns. Great set! I want one!
I have no specific knowledge regarding when these were made but educated inferences can be drawn.
The "Schrade Walden" tang stamp itself dates it from 1946 to 1973. The knife is a variation on the 2-7/8" senator pattern Schrade called the 778 or 778-SS or 778RB. Same knife, different model numbers at different times.
The standard 778 had a flexible nail-file instead of the second pen blade. It first showed up in available catalogs in 1953 and stayed there with some minor name changes right through to 1973.
The presence of a "Razor Blade Stainless" etch would narrow the date a bit as they didn't add the RB suffix until the 1965 catalog when it became the 778RB to fit their stainless campaign of the era. An etched knife would likely be 1965-1973.
1953 catalog
1965 catalog
1973 catalog
Your knife would have been a SFO (Special Factory Order) commisioned by Cadillac itself or a dealer etc to be given out as a freebie to good factory workers or perhaps dealer repairmen or everybody at a certain conference etc. It's an SFO because that's not a standard catalog blade configuration so it's not just a 778 with "Cadillac Craftsman" put on it.
Chrysler handed out the knife pictured below to their dealer mechanics at at least one conference. Same sort of deal.
I don't always respond to great posts but I always appreciate seeing them. Thanks for posting!

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Same, same the Miracle Whip series. Started in 1937, ended in 1988. They are 778's as well.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
What about the Kershaw butchering kit? I've never seen one of those before. I'm thinking these deer hunters would be jumping all over that.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Scott, you never cease to amaze me with your ability to bring home the bacon!
bighomer, that's interesting to know that 1986 was the only year Queen made those knives. I have one in my Queen drawer and sure enough it is stamped Q 1986. The stamp is upside down compared to most stamps.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
In reference to the Q1986, that looks exactly like the Camillus style knives I sold in the 'ship's store' when I was in the Navy. From 1982 - 1984, I ran the ship's store onboard the USS Aubrey Fitch FFG 34 and the lead SH (Ship's Serviceman) ordered about 100 of these style knives, which I sold for $5.00 each. I used to call them the "Line Handlers" knife, because if you lost it overboard while working on deck, then you were not out much, and the sailors would come back and buy another one. I sold out of them in about two weeks...they were very popular with the Bosun'Mates. They would use these knives for line braiding and making 'monkey fist's' for bolo lines.
Anyway...some of you sailors of Navy life will know that of which I speak. Just an interesting experience of mine during my Navy tenure.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Picked these two from a flea mall Saturday.
Schrade PH2 in near mint condition. A bit of verdigris polished right off.
And a long line Camillus is in terrible condition. Took two doses of Kroil
to get the blades working.
