My grandfather passed away about 5 years ago. Ever since I was a very little boy, he had used the same pocket knife. He said that it had been given to him by his dad when he was a little boy. When he passed away, it was the one and only item of his that I requested.
I was given 2 knives. I am tying to establish the age and model of both knives.
The first, I believe, is a 834 stockman made between 1946 and the mid 1970's. 834, while rubbed away, is visible on the blade. It also says SCHRADE NY USA.
The other, I have not yet been able to determine the model, or the actual age. It is about 3.5" long, just slightly shorter than the stockman. Printed on the blade is "Schrade Cut Co Walden NY". It does not appear to be arched, which leads me to believe it was made between WWI and 1946. It has a normal blade (unsure of the proper name) on one side, and a file with a weird shaped blade at the other side. The text on the "shield" is worn off, and the shield itself is actually an elogated oval
Here is a size comparison of the 2 knives:
Does anyone have any ideas as to the actual age of these knives, and what model the smaller one is?
