while huntin on the bay awile back i came across a: "Schrade XT1B" and it looked like this:
Wow, cool, i thought, and neat too, 'cause it's a Schrade. auction closing and no one else had offered to adopt this guy for the opening bid of $29.99, so i did.
now this IS a neat knife. a Bolo pattern. heavy enough that you know you have something in you hand(not like those flimsy H-15s), but not tiresome heavy, comfortable handle and balance. and the sheath is totally Ballistic !
some while later, while still spending valuable time and resources, suckedf in by the bay tides, i came across this: "Schrade XT28" but the pic. did not show accurate color and the knife was still sheathed. so it looked like this but with off colors:
Wow, i thought, neat and cool too. that's XT2B, no such deal as XT28.
Bolo's little brother ! so again i ponied up, this time $10.50.
and when Bolo's brother arrived he looked like this:
ALIEN ! !
that said, here's the interesting part: the China XT2B is just as nice a knife.
infact both look, feel and seem identical. it's hard to believe they were manufactured in 2 different places.
and then the sheaths: IDENTICAL. there's no doubt both were made at the same place.
get my drift ? i think "something's up" here. roland
