885UH Production Numbers
Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2020 7:24 pm
Does anyone have production numbers for the 885UH King Ranch or Senior Ranch stockman?
They were first made in 1970 during the Walden era, and continued all the way up to 2004 when Schrade USA closed. All the Walden stamped knives had serial numbers, which ran up into the 90000 range over roughly a three year period, so that would be about 30,000 knives per year. But I'm sure that they produced more each year as time went on and the knives became more widely distributed and more popular. Even rough estimates based on some evidence would be helpful. Did they make as many as 100,000 a year at any point?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
