Any info on this?

This is a fairly late production knife and is a good one depending on how much you pay for it. I'm left-handed so I didn't find the thumb stud useful.

Codger wrote something recently about these Schrades with thumb studs but I couldn't find it doing a search. He should be along shortly to elaborate.
 
I have a 55OTG that I bought on eBay recently. It's obviously one found while cleaning out the warehouse, and probably a Second out of the trash bin. The brass is totally ground through on one side, but the action is good and tight and the blade is very good.

Based on the box in the eBay photo, the knife advertised is not one of the factory cleanouts and probably not a Second. You might want to specifically ask the seller about any defects though.

I just today received a similar 53OTG and it's perfect. You just have to be aware that some of the knives being sold on eBay, although genuine USA-Schrades, are flawed Seconds. Especially if the knives aren't boxed.

Best Wishes,
Bob
