Good find. It's about 20 years old. USA Schrade knives in the original 'clam pack' (like your 12OT) are still 'out there' waiting for a knife lover to give them an appreciative home.

Nice find. If you intend to keep it “as-is” without opening the packaging, be sure to store it out of the sunlight. Those plastic packages will turn darker and spilt, crack and eventually disintegrate if exposed to sunlight for very long. Don’t ask how I know. ::facepalm::

Nice find, good knife - I keep one on my desk for small tasks. OH

Yes, I can also testify to the truth of the statement about UV light effects on the Schrade packaging.
