Schrade Walden 225Y
I picked up this 225Y in a group of knives that I purchased. Originally I had never seen this particular model number before so I did a bit of searching on AAPK and came up with a lot of good info: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=46252&p=856551&hilit=225y#p856551
Seems this was a very low production knife possibly made for a hardware store or other retail outlet. Info is limited but there’s some good stuff in the listed post.
Mine had just started outgassing and the secondary blade was trashed so I stripped off the old handles and put some Muskrat Man yellow acrylic handles on it. I assumed that the standard 225 secondary blade would fit but was surprised to find that although the blade had the same profile, it was considerably thinner. A little work on the grinder corrected that issue. It’s back together now and ready for another 50 years!
Here’s the updated knife:
