Schrade 1430T Fixed Blade

[woodwalker]

A friend at work got this fixed blade at a garage sale and wanted to know more about it. I told him I didnt know alot about Schrade knives but the plus sign on the tang meant it was stainless. Anyone maybe know the date range on it? Thanks for any info. He paid a few dollars for it. I told him he got a steal for that. Thanks again.
