Re: Two Schrade Folding Hunters
Schrade Walden became schrade in sometime during 1973. There were 2 catalogs generated that year. One was Schrade Walden the other Schrade. There were a couple differences between them.
Doesn't answer the date question exactly but I believe I have it tucked away.

A little digging in the archive found this note
1973: Schrade Walden Cutlery Corp. was consolidated with Ulster Knife Co., Inc. on September 26th, 1958 and this corporate consolidation was amended on September 17th, 1973 changing the name to Schrade Cutlery Corp., still a division of Imperial Knife Associated Companies.

Re: Two Schrade Folding Hunters
Good to know guys, I wasn't aware of the mid-year change. I guess that explains why you don't see many of those SW Alaskan Old Timer Hunters. I've only seen them in the 1973 catalog, which probably means they were in production in late 1972. It's possible they had a mid year 1972 intro as was done with a number of knives to catch the hunting/Christmas season rush, but I don't have any of the Second Half salesman meeting notebooks from that era to verify.
