If it doesn't say Schrade USA, then I think it's an offshore trio. But nice find.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Correct. China. Schrade folders from 1904 through maybe about 1951 will be stamped N.Y. but not U.S.A. After that until the bankruptcy in 2004 all folders will have U.S .A. in the stamp. No exceptions that I am aware of. If there is an exception it would be a certain very late "modern" folder with thumb stud and BG-42 steel which was too hard for their stamps. My old brain can't remember the name of that knife but it was a collaboration with two designers, "somebody & somebody."
