Are you sure it has 3 blades? Schrade Model #745 is a 2-blade "safety push-button" design: http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com...uide/schrade-knife-models-circa-1946-to-1956/

You need to have some website to upload your photos to, e.g. google-pics/picasa or imgur or snapfish or photobucket, etc. Upload you images to your account on THAT site, then paste the URL into your post between coding brackets:

 
I only know that if it's a "Schrade Walden" you might want to keep it. Probably far better a knife than the current "Schrades." Probably better steel and heat treat. The old Schrade Waldens are good knives--maybe some of the best 1095 out there even now. I've had a couple, including Sharpfingers and a Deerslayer, and won't be getting rid of them.

Hang on to it until you have time to do proper research. My bet is it's a good knife.
 
Thanks and I'm def keeping ahold of it. Everything I've researched it keeps bringing me back to 1940-1947 when it was made. And if that's the case it's still new in box .. Hell still has the factory edge on it
 
Nice looking knife. I know very little about traditionals, but you might want to wipe that finger print off the blade with a soft cloth before it stains the steel :)
 
Thank you lol. And yes I already did I was just trying to get a good focused picture for everyone. Yesterday was the first time I've had it out in a long time.
 
Let me help:

That number is the serial number, it is not the model#. Check the tang-stamp on the other side of the main blade to get the model#.
The knife was made somewhere 1946 - 1973, serpentine stockman pattern, the main blade is called "Turkish clip-point", the others are sheepsfoot and spey blades, handle looks like jigged delrin

Okay I checked the other side of blade and it has no markings for identification of model #. Would this be worth anything?
