Hey all.

I recently acquired this knife from my grandfather and was curious about any information on it as I really like the way it looks, it feels sturdy and has stayed pretty sharp over the years. I'm mostly just looking for information about this particular knife, more specifically the manufacturing date as I had no idea how old this knife was until I started doing some research. It's in the sheath, the sharpening stone is still in it's pouch and everything is in pretty good condition, though it could use a good cleaning. The box was undoubtedly thrown away many years ago by my grandfather.
Serial is 35256, and from what research I've done on my own I believe it was manufactured around 1973-74.

If I can find a camera tomorrow I'll take some pictures of it. I'm not exactly a knife collector but this is easily one of the best knives I've had.
 
You're likely right on with those dates, is it tang stamped Schrade-Walden? With a serial number that low I'd imagine it was made within the first two years of production. If you're looking to store it away, I'd store it out of the sheath, the leather can damage the steel in time. He gave you a MIGHTY fine knife!
