Well, they're no older than 1975, before that they'd be stamped "Schrade-Walden". Here's a link to an excellent post on dates compiled by Orvet:

PS- Forgot to mention, Schrade NY predates the plain Schrade stamp. Not quite sure when it was dropped, but I don't think it made it into the 1980's.

Well, first off, Schrade USA closed it's doors in 2004 so Schrade knives are no longer made in the USA.
Here's a little info for ya on dates and such:

The good news is Canal Street Cutlery now operates in the same facility that Schrade did in Ellenville, NY and there are a number of past employees of Schrade now handcarfting knives for Canal Street Cutlery!!

Just a short drive further south from the old main Schrade plant, CSC are located in the old Ulster knife factory on Canal Street.
