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

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
Mike, happy for you. That is a great looking knife. Glad you found it.
Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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!

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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 .
I don't always respond to great posts but I always appreciate seeing them. Thanks for posting!

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..."

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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.

Re: What Schrade RARE knife do you have
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.

That's a beauty Jason and of course, appropriate for today.
