Walden made Schrade knife

Where can I go to find out about a Shrade knife I picked up. All it says on the main blade is- -
Schrade
Walden N.Y.
Made in USA
Thanks

Probably made between 1947 and 1973. Examine your Schrade knife under a good strong light, using a magnifying glass to note all markings and design details. The name marked on the knife will give you the first visual clue to its age. Schrade knives dating from 1904 to the World War I period are marked "Schrade Cut Co." and "Walden, N.Y." in arched letters. Knives marked "Schrade Cut Co." in a straight line were made between World War I and 1947. From 1947 to 1973, Schrade knives were marked "Schrade Walden." Knives marked "Schrade N.Y. USA" or "Schrade USA" were manufactured between 1973 and 2004.

I was going to send you over to Bladeforums, the Traditional subforum, where there is a lot of knowledge about traditional knives. But it looks as if Harvester1 either has access to the materials, or else knows his Schrades off the top of his head.

Still, there is a remarkable breadth and depth of knowledge about traditional knives over there, and about knives in general. I learn something almost every time I visit.
