Can anyone tell me about this?
Sorry for the bad pic, it’s all I have and the only info I have to go by. It’s the Stag (or Delrin) with Schrade Walden shield.

Looks like a Schrade Walden fish knife. I believe the handle material is not stag, but a version of their Staglon, a synthetic material.
I believe the blades in this are stainless.

I see it showing up in catalogs around 1972.

All of the above is true; I think they were only made for a year give or take. I have seen them with that shield, with a blank shield, and one that says LUNKER. They are handsome knives.
Re: Can anyone tell me about this?
Jumping in a little late. Your knife is a Schrade Walden 209 Fish Knife. My Information is they were only sold for 2 years in 1972 and 1973. To what toungueriver posted I will add that they also came with a shield with a fish stamped on it. Tang stamps differ too. It says STAINLESS USA on the SCHRADE WALDEN shield knife and tang stamped SCHRADE WALDEN NY USA STAINLESS on the one with a fish on the shield. Some came with a leather sheath. Some of the sheaths are stamped SCHRADE WALDEN and some were stamped SCHRADE. This was during the transition period when the company changed it's name. But both knives are stamped SCHRADE WALDEN on the shield or tang. It sold for $8.00. Not a great picture, but here are my two. Hard to see the fish shield in the glare. (the sheath in the pic is for a different knife)
