...I got it for Christmas (No pics sorry)
Three blade stockman, roughly 3" closed. Main blade says, "Everlastingly Sharp" then SCHRADE over WALDEN over N.Y. U.S.A. main blade (clip point) has long nail pull...oval shield simply says, "SCHRADE". Yellow scales. I like the knife, it is very clean and I'm pretty sure the blades are carbon steel. No other markings.

Thanks for your help,
Will Sneed
 
Is there a pattern number on the back tang of the main blade?

Does it look just like this one? Is it 3.5"?
 
I think Camillus made your knife for Taylor Brands LLC. They were some of the first knives that Taylor had for sale after they got the rights to the intellectual property of Schrade, (after Schrade’s bankruptcy sale).
Does that mean they are a bad knife? Absolutely not! They were made by Camillus and I have found mine to be very good quality indeed.
Technically they are not a Schrade from Imperial Schrade, but they are of comparable quality.

Since Camillus made many of Schrade’s knives (and vice versa) I don’t think the ownership of the name at that time of manufacture is a big issue. Taylor had these knives out very quickly, IIRC, soon after they got the rights to the Schrade name. I suppose it is possible that they were a project in the works that Camillus was doing for Imperial Schrade’s 100th Anniversary, and Taylor paid for them & took delivery. BUT, that is just speculation on my part & I don’t know that to be a fact. I will have to ask Tom Williams (CAMCO) he might know.

At any rate, the knife you have is a good quality knife.

Thanks man. I wasn't really worried about it being a collectible or anything, I just was looking for information. It sure is going to be a good user. :thumbup:

Thanks again,
