If the stamp says SCHRADE+ it is stainless steel. Refer to this post:

If the stamp says SCHRADE, then it is probably 1095 High Carbon.
I'm not familiar with the scrims, but I think both were used.

Well, sometimes it helps us to make a positive I.D. of a knife if we can see a clear closeup picture or scan. But... I'll see what I can do.
Is this your knife? If so, it was a 1979 issue in the Scrimshaw Of The Great American Outdoors set. Begun in 1976, there were only two patterns used during the first three years, each of the two bearing the same art as it’s mate. The knives were individually gift boxed, and not sold as a matched set in a single display box or frame. In 1979 other patterns were introduced and the pair became a more expansive “set” of six knives, and dealers were offered a wood and glass display frame, the OC6 and a black framed display, PF6SC.
500SC - Two Bison Facing Center
501SC - Buck Deer Bust facing left
503SC - Trout Leaping For Insect
505SC - Two Seagulls & Lighthouse
506SC - Raccoon On Log Facing Right
508SC - Bear Attacking Hunter
The box covering in 1979 changed from a parchement print nautical theme to the dark leatherette style with gold foil printing, and the logo etch on the blade changed from the nautical anchor to a stylized sun. Your 1979 505SC is 1095HC high carbon steel and will spot over time from moisture and fingerprints. Keep it dry and coated with light machine or mineral oil. The handle is faux ivory Delrin and the design was heat stamped into the handle.
The original artwork for these knives was done by Schrade's artist, Mr. Frank Giorgianni. Most of the designs bear his signature or initials, F.G., and the year the original artwork was created.
