Vintage Schrade-Walden fixed blade fighting/hunting knife measuring approximately 10.5 inches overall. Blade is clearly marked "SCHRADE-WALDEN / N.Y. U.S.A." near the guard. The Schrade-Walden tang stamp was used during the postwar period, generally from 1946 to 1973. Features a broad spear/clip-style fixed blade, full crossguard, stacked leather handle, and distinctive bright red spacers at the guard and pommel. Collector references indicate Schrade-Walden produced commercial versions of military-style fighting and utility knives, and bright red spacers are particularly associated with commercial production rather than documented U.S. government contract knives. These knives were nevertheless of the type that could have been privately purchased and carried during the Vietnam era. Includes a black sheath with leather retaining strap. Knife and sheath show considerable age-related wear, oxidation, discoloration, scratches, finish loss, and handling wear. Blade has visible patina and surface oxidation. Please examine all photographs closely for exact condition. Estimated Era: 1950s-1970s / Vietnam Era This item came from a collector’s estate.
