Have spent a lot of time looking for a Schrade 2OT that I could afford and finally found one this week. Knife is unused, no box and has been personalized with previous owners name. I know it drops the value but I kind of like it.
It shipped out of Walden NY, looks like it never made it far from where it was made.

Congrats!
I always keep my eye out for them too, if you're an Old Timer fan, they are sorta the "pinnacle" acquisition
I don't think the personalization makes that big of a difference (at least not to me). It's tastefully done, in a professional manner. It's not like a TL-29 where someone scratched thier initials into it with a sorta-sharp nail, right

Thanks guys, Blister it was Ebay, lucked into it after it had just been listed with a buy it now that was half or less of what they usually sell for. I guess my obsessive refreshing of new listings paid off.

Re: Grail 2OT Found
Congratulations. They are so hard to find these days (especially in that condition) that about as close as you can come is a Great Eastern #77 Washington Jack and they're getting almost as difficult to find as a Schrade 2OT. Beauty example you have there.

Hak1911,
That sure is a Grand Speciman of a knife! I saw this post and then had to dig out my catalog sales sheets to refresh my memory....those were made in 1959-1961. TherE was also a 3 OT made in 1959. These beauties sold for $27.00 per dozen during that time frame.
I do not have the numbers of the 2 OT that were produced, however, there were only 13 of the 3 OT knives produced. I am fortunate enough to own the Schrade Factory Collection 2 OT and 3 OT, MINT condition. I have yet to come across another 3 OT as they are that Rare. I may have the only Mintbone still in existence.
Your knife is truly a beautiful piece, and Thank you for sharing it with us.
Tom
