SFO items do not usually appear in the Schrade catalogs & price lists. This may have been a SFO (Special Factory Order) for some company such as Smoky Mountain Knife Works, notice that the 165SM is a orange handled 165OT made for SMKW. The 15OTO, is a 15OT made with a orange Delrin handle. For example, the 2OT was made in the 1950s or 1960s, long before any of my catalogs or price lists were printed. You will notice a number of knives that have no information, other than the model number & the description. Hopefully most of the information is correct but the possibility always exist that I made a mistake or there is a difference in what Schrade published. In the details column you will hopefully find a description of the knife with any other information I have, whether it is gathered from the price lists, catalogs, books or other sources.

If a knife was discontinued in 1994 or 1995, the last price shown will be the 1993 price. The retail price shown is the last retail price I have in any of the lists that I currently possess. Is important to note that, as a pattern was introduced or discontinued in one of the years where I do not have a catalog will not be noted as new in 1994-95, in the case of the 140OT. I have these from 1973 through 2004, with three notable exceptions 1977, 1994 & 1995. Somewhere in there, they also started publishing a Retail Price List, and a Distributor’s Price List in addition to the picture catalogs that did not have prices listed, but did include descriptions. In 1983 they begin publishing a price list called a Shortline Catalog. In the early seventies they published what they called their Line. This list is based on a number of Schrade price lists. This is not the definitive list of Old Timers, it is merely a starting point. This is a list of Schrade Old Timer models. All Information Courtesy of Dale Vincent – AAPK Username: orvet
