So many knives made here. It's wonderful that many of the knives survived, but the factory did not. Pictures taken 06/10/2018 on Rt. 208 in Walden NY.
...This is the remains of the original Walden factory before the company moved to Ellenville NY. Not sure of dates. I couldn't get around back, but just more of the same shame.

Re: Schrade Walden NY Ruins
Another sad example of our vanishing industrial heritage. Detroit, for instance, is full of examples.

Great pictures Chris
What a lovely looking old building I'll bet this was in its day.Its crying out for fixing up Ind becoming something of its former glory. Nice to see it for me not living in the states but sad as it shows the way things are going for quality knife manufacturers .
I am afraid Englands great industries are a thing of the past aswell.There are many foreign car showrooms and clothes shops ,Giant supermarkets we have sold out to , but no great industries anymore for anybody to earn money to spend in them.
The rich get richer as the poor struggle to get by.

I'm not too far, I may make a stop over myself. On Rt. 208, by what other marker?
Re: Schrade Walden NY Ruins
Hi Jay. I was born & raised in Newburgh NY. Carried Mail for the Walden NY Post Office for 20 years and lived in Walden for 14 of those years. It's on Rt. 208 along the Wallkill River near the Wallkill/Walden border. Any further info., I'd be glad to share.Jay Blade wrote:I'm not too far, I may make a stop over myself.
