Schrade Walden 143

[blackhawkgllry]

Got a 143 in a box of stuff I inhereted,and trying to get a handle on when they were made, and what they are worth. Look forward to finding out about this knife.

This looks similar to a sharp finger but bigger, has a stacked leather disk and (colored plastic?) on either end of the leather disks handle,and an aluminum gaurd.

Look forward to hearing back
Take care

Here is an old thread which should give you some info:

These old fixed blade knives don't command very high prices, but they are very cool. Congratulations!

I did a little more digging and found the 143 was only sold from 1955-1957
It was missing from the 1958 price list.
Great find. Aint plastic!
