Is this 897 right?

Schrade Cutlery Company was founded in 1904 by George Schrade, and his brothers Jacob and William Schrade. In 1946 Imperial Knife Associated Companies, (IKAC; an association of Ulster Knife Co and Imperial Knife Co) purchased controlling interest in Schrade Cut Co and changed the name to Schrade Walden Cutlery. In 1973 the name was changed to Schrade Cutlery. In 2004 Schrade closed due to bankruptcy.

This forum is dedicated to the knives that are the legacy of this company. This forum is not the place to discuss the replica knives currently being imported using the Schrade name.

Looks like a 899 Slim Premium Stock Knife

3 9/16" Clip, Spey & Punch

1947 - 1986

Probably closer to 86

Handles are Delrin so it's post 1960.

The tang stamp is post 1973. I would like to see the other side of the knife. I am not yet sure that the 'punch blade' is a punch blade. All 897s are stainless steel. I think your knife is either a worn 895 or a worn 899, as previously suggested.

I can't quite make the tangstamp number out, but the knife is an 899 and dates to sometime after about 1975 or so, and possibly as late as 1986.
