That is an interesting little factoid. That Schrade may have used Sears for test marketing, and/or, promotion for new knives. Smart!
Very nice 165OT! I have wondered why a lot of the Craftsman knives had tang stamps that are upside down to everyone else?

Good point about the Craftsman knives being more rare. Especially your 2OT. I'm also thinking about your Staglon skinning knife too. There are a couple that I can think of that I've only seen one picture of and never heard talked about. That coupled with what Cal posted makes a guy want to pay more attention to them for rare Schrade family knives.
I'm just posting this picture I found online somewhere (I think ebay completeted listings) as an example of "where the heck did that come from?". It has a linerlock. Only one I've seen and I'm wanting one bad. lol
