Elusive Schrades

I managed to hold onto this display of knives from a number of years ago! A special "American Workman" tribute set. Can anyone date them for me??
Perhaps B bladecollectorr ??

Charlie, in the absence of bladecollectorr…
These were brought up on pg. 139….
Jeff and Eric nailed it for me!
Knice collection !!

Charlie those came out in 1981. The first two knives (and the case) were shipped in September of that year followed by the remaining knives sometime later.

Gus that knife is from a five knife Cutlery Classics set called "The Tradesman Series" that was put out around 1981. Each knife commemorated a trade; Rancher, Fisherman, Miner, Farmer, and Lumberman. Yes it was the same bone used on the Parker knives, I believe sourced from Boker at the time. Here are a couple of pics:

P.S. looks like we’ve roughly got 1980-83 covered so far in this period.

That Warren looks very purposeful!! How does it feel to use??

Charlie, they put a saber grind on it for some reason. I had Mr. Krein take care of that.. Now it is very sharp and very strong. Comfortable in the hand too .

I remember thinking a saber grind might not be the best!! Unless one is chip carving??!!

Thanks Charlie, I find yours quite interesting, don’t think I’ve ever seen a Walden with the black covers, most Ive seen have been Cut Co, must be an early Walden.
