I like em' like this.... Schrade Walden 836...

Very nice. And fantastic price, OP.
I thought I had one also, but mine's a jack:

Not one of my better shield replacements.
 
SP .... your shield is better than any I could do ! I was thinking of finding a donor
blade and borrowing the shield (if that isn't sacrilegious !). I was reading thru some
old posts here and see where some refer to these 836's as "whittlers" .... I did not know
that.

Norcal...that is a perfect knife. What a classic... Shrade CUTCO . Awesome.

p.s. love the way my brass insert comes to a point....very cool.

Thanks guys... just pure-D luck... hidden in a pile of offshore steel. Sometimes
it pays to root around in those piles. Seem to be many mistreated knives out
there... can be difficult to locate the good stuff. I think this knife is the "good stuff".

At the swap this past weekend... Schrade Walden 836... missing shield,
but, all 3 carbon steel blades intact. Very cool . Just required a light clean
and lube. Need to review my logos to define era. My first of this model.

I gave $3.

I bought my Schrade Walden 836 about 1958, at a old time hardware store in my small Illinois hometown, there was still Harness for sale hanging on the walls and cast iron stoves for sale. This knife was in a glass case near the front of the store. I probabily paid less than $5.00, maybe $2.00. Carried it for many years, to Vietnam and back and in the mid 1980's fearing I might lose it. I put it in a drawer
