On auction is a collectors item a razor sharp 1960's SCHRADE-WALDEN "Old Timer" Deerslayer Hunting Knife with original sheath

The 15OT was first introduced in 1964 and produced continuously for thirty four years. It was produced for ten years as Schrade Walden (1964-73). Deerslayer has serpentine shaped brown sawcut delrin handles held to the full tang by three nickle silver flat head rivets, and a 1 1/8" nickle silver Old Timer shield. A prominent choil on the tang in front of the handle acts as a lower guard and protects the fingers from the sharpened blade. A grooved, raised thumb rest on the top of the tang aids in blade control for finer work. The 6" full tang blade is flat ground 1095 carbon steel. A really stiff blade, the blade stock is nearly 3/16" thick. The tip is upswept.
Earliest production was marked with a "PAT. PEND." blade etch briefly,( which this one is) then added to the left hand tang stamp. Perhaps this led to some complications with production and stocking the 15OT's. The early Walden 15OT's were serialized on the left tang perpendicular to the blade beginning sometime before the patent issued in April of '64. The first tang stamps were applied to both sides of the tang perpendicular to the blade, with SCHRADE-WALDEN over NY USA on the right, and 15OT PAT. over PEND. on the left.
