Craftsman American Eagle Collection

I have a Schrade made Craftsman/USA SS 8 1/8" fixed blade with a 4 3/8" saber clip blade and saw-cut Delrin handles along with a heavy duty "Top Grain Cowhide" sheath.
The box is marked "Sears/Craftsman American Eagle Collection"
I think this is the same knife as a 41OT aka "The Maverick".
I think this Sears "Eagle Collection" had 5 or 6 ? knives in it ?
Were these all released at the same time or was a new pattern introduced every few months ?
Are the production numbers known ?
Did these come out in late 1960's or in 1970's ?
If you have pictures of the other knives in this "collection" please post them.
Thank you for your help, kj

Thank you Calvin. So there are 4 knives in this series. Mine is called "The Sportsman".
Do you know the year ? i'm fairly sure it was during Schrade-Walden daze.
