Chase wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:06 pm Bladecollector is right...If that knife has a sheepsfoot blade with the proper tang stamp, then what you have is a Schrade Walden 3 OT. These are very rare as there were only 13 made and besides the Schrade Collection 3 OT that I have, I have only seen a picture of 1 other one that was a rusted-out mess.

In any event, 2 OT or 3 OT you got yourself one heck of a nice knife there, especially considering it was in a $5 box...LOL

Thanks guys - I'm just yanking yalls chain here. The knife was a rescue. When I found it the blades were down to nubs. I've rescued a few like this but this time decided to have a little fun with it because I've always wanted a 3OT and what are the chances of ever finding one? Kaleb made these blades for me with nothing to guide him except a pic of a 3OT I sent him. He knocked it out of the park, as usual.

Absolutely GORGEOUS knife Jason.

Mike, happy for you. That is a great looking knife. Glad you found it.

Chase · Post by **Chase** » Fri Jun 05, 2020 3:11 pm

Mike,

That one is a Beautiful Knife and in Fantastic Condition. I have one as well, although not in as good as shape as your knife, used slightly.
These are a rarity!

Great catch!

I believe i read in Schrade/BF maybe 10 or so years ago that the Craftsman 2OT came out a few months before the Schrade-Walden 2OT. I think it was in a post by Codger on Craftsman knives. Might be hard to find because Codger posted many times about Craftsman/Schrade knives.

Two extra-special Schrades for sure! Both are looking mighty fine for their age.

I have a box of seven fine Schrade knives on its way to me now. I'm adding two more Schrade Cut. Co. 2-1/4" lobsters to my collection. This brings me to 7 variations on the pattern with no two the same. These two are the 1926 cataloged 7606SHA and the no-shackle 7606 .

Here's the link: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/whe ... ot.466837/

MM's fine knife is 1 of 780 produced in 1959.

"A Craftsman version was made for Sears & Roebuck in 1959, identical to the standard Schrade version of the 2OT, except for the addition of an oval Craftsman shield in the mark side handle. The Sears #9530 Craftsman version of the 2OT is a bit more scarce than the standard Schrade, 780 pieces produced and shipped only in 1959. This was the only SFO use of the 2OT pattern that I am aware of. I have not yet seen the Sears 2OT box, but suspect that it is probably the same as the standard Schrade Walden. While Schrade Walden records show the Sears stock number, #9530, it does not appear on the knife. Searches have not revealed evidence of the 2OT Sleeveboard being produced for any other retail customer..."

Thank you for finding this post made by Codger. He has done so much excellent research into the history of Schrade and Craftsman knives. It does not actually say the Craftsman 2OT came out before the S-W 2OT. Both might have been released close to the same time.

WOAH....
YES... thanks do much for posting that quote .... 1 of 780 made in 1959? WOW....

jxr1197 · Post by **jxr1197** » Fri Jun 26, 2020 6:04 pm

I could only find this 830 on the 1956 price sheet. It's a Middleman stockman identical to the 834 except for the Kon-Kav grind on the clip. The spey and pen have the standard grind. Never seen one or even heard of it before.

Hmmmmm.... good find Jason. Another one year only knife maybe?
