Schrade Knife Age?

Guys,
I just recd a couple of the Old Timer Classics in the tin and photos below. I looked thru the Schrade data on our site and could find nothing on these. I could use some idea as to how old they might be. The tang is stamped SCHRADE + (over) USA LTD.
Clearly not old knives (one a stockman and one is a trapper) but any info or guidance to a reference would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Ray,

That looks like a fairly new (~2000 or so) issue. It appears to have a coined rope shield(??), and the style (jigged bone, threaded bolster) was used for the Cigar Box Classics, as well as some SFOs and some Anniversary knives, near the end. If you have paperwork, or possibly on the tin, check for a copyright date.

As always, JMO.
