Schrade USA OT vs Schrade NY USA OT ????

[abcdef]

Why the difference in the two stamps?

[Shearer]

When they stop using the Schrade Walden stamp in 1973 they went to the Schrade NY USA stamp.
I not sure on this but I think the used the NY stamp till around 1979.From than on they used the Schrade USA stamp to they closed in 2004
Other member might have a better idea.

I believe you are correct - 46-73 was Schrade Walden NY USA - Schrade NY USA and Schrade USA - 73-04 - check out the Tang stamp page under general knife discussion

I think they used the ny stamp well into the 80's. Exactly when I don't know, but my reason for saying is all of the 1985 red bone OT knives I've seen have NY USA on the stamp, as do all the 80's heritage knives.
