Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a great example of a 1950’s produced Schrade-Walden pilot knife in its leather sheath. These were commercially produced by several companies including Schrade-Walden in the 1950’s leading into the 60s and 70s, so many pilots during the Korean and Vietnam Wars used them.
In 1962, the knife was modified by reducing the blade to 5” in length. The post-1962 knives were produced by the Camillus Cutlery Company and Milpar during the Vietnam Era. These knives were initially issued to Naval Air Crews but saw service with airmen in all branches of US military service. The knife and scabbard are both in great unissued condition. There is a sunburst rivet on the pommel.
The blade is marked on the ricasso:
SCHRADE-WALDEN
N.Y. U.S.A.
