Welcome to the forum. Here's a link to a thread back in 2010 where this very subject was discussed. It may help you out with your question.

$335 for that one? That is not a bad price.
I have seen them go for over $500, but usually they are in the box, unused.

To answer your question; There are usually a half dozen per year that show up on ebay, sometimes more, sometimes less. IIRC, it was last year a 2OT that I would consider a parts knife sold on ebay for about $135. Both blades were badly worn and as I recall one or both handles were cracked. That is the least amount I have seen one sell for, but it was not worth the price as far as I was concerned.

Occasionally a 2OT will sell for under $300, but not often. Mostly they sell from about $400-$500.

Yeah, you're dreaming of owning a Schrade 2OT and she's dreaming of a week in Hawaii. :lol: :lol:
Good luck with that one my friend. That's a beautiful knife. I hope you get your wish.

One sold last night on Ebay for $342.00 with a tipped blade and had been cleaned. The one BigMonk has posted was one I sold, and it had two cracks on the handle. I sold one in the box with a tipped blade and tarnish recently for $425.00. They are a highly sought pattern for an avid Schrade collector.

Sold on Ebay

The other one I sold to a private collector.

I want that advertising one in the old thread. I love advertising on old knives that aren't plastic scaled.
