Red and white striped handle.

My dad has his grandfathers shrade/waldon. It has a red and white striped handle. The sheath is brown leather with red and green plastic chord. Can anybody tell me more about this knife.

Is it similar to this one? However, I'm not sure if the sheath is original.

The tang stamp will date it somewhere from 1948-1973. Perhaps someone can narrow that down a little more.

Larry has an excellent site with tons of info...

Hope that helps.

Glen, I believe that your sheath is likely original on this "peppermint", an SFO for Sears Roebuck & Co during the late 50's-early 60's. It was a Sears #9508.

From A. B. Hourin's notebook:

#147A -SR9508

Tang Stamped: S-W (Do Not Number Tangs)
Etched: CRAFTSMAN 9508 CUSTOM MADE

Note that I may have this number wrong. I've lost a lot of my research notes from that period.
