Being a Schrade collector I own a few of the IXLs that were produced when the actual company was owned by Schrade. Those are some beautiful knives.

A week ago, I received these two I*XLs in trade at my monthly club meeting.

The smoker's knife makes me wish I could smoke again, with no ill effects! It is nicely made, and was carefully used. The handles are nice horn and the snap is good on the blade and the "pricker". How many of those are bent or broken!!?? This one is near perfect! Sweet, slim little machine!
The Barlow is near full, also snappy, and has some of the best jigged bone I have seen on an I*XL.
I feel lucky!!
