I collect Rigging knives. Made in the US. By manufacturers who are defunct, or at least from lines that are no longer made. I have three Schrade knives I'd like more information about.
This one is identified on the blade as #735SS, Schrade Walden
Four lines on the tang of this one. Schrade/Walden/NY USA/Stainless
The blade is narrower than the 735. On the 735 you have to open the blade to depress the lock lever bale far enough to close the spike. This one, you can unlock the spike with the blade closed. Also, the scales seem to be the same "red bone" that is on my Camillus 697's.
The blade is shaped differently on this one. I'm still awaiting delivery from an ebay seller. He claims it's WWII vintage.
Anyone know anything else about these?
