Schrade Walden NY Whittler

So I won this little gem off EBay/FleaBay
I am guessing from the Post your Latest Schrade thread I'm safe in calling it a 836.

All the Blades have the mark
SCHRADE
WALDEN
NY
on the Tang
however one blade has the Tang Stamp on the Inside or the wrong side of the blade
Have a look
The Smal Blades were tipped by a previous user/owner so I whipped out the Kerney and Foot 6" Double Cut mill file and reshaped the tips.
It is a Awsome Knife will be tops in my EDC rotation.

Yessiree! That'll work! Nice!

That's a nice one. That tang stamp is odd, but I do think it's original to the knife.

I think the The stamp correlates to 46 to 50?

I can't see the tang stamp clearly in these images, but if the "U.S.A." is missing, it would be their earliest tang stamp after the Schrade Cut.Co. stamps were discontinued. How long it took to add the "U.S.A." is unclear (1948, '49, '50, '51, '52, '53????). This may forever be shrouded in mystery. It is obviously from that early period after the sale of the company to the Baers.
