queen mt. man--old ixl--western-- mint ixl
i guess the english used their red stag for handles. most english stag is black.although the western looks like bone it is actually delrin. as we know the queen is 4.5 in. closed. i believe the ixl on the right is mint probably after 1955. i will have to defer to waynorth or blues on the english stag info. thanks

As always those are nice ones. I have never felt a need for a locking blade, but I don't dislike them. I'm actually guilty of enjoying just sitting around, opening them and listening to the "clink" when the back lock locks up :D

The Western has some characteristics, that make it look like it may be a Camillus made knife.
 
The old I*XL has the rugged look of a very old oak-tree, that's some gnarled bark stag on that one for sure,really like it a lot:thumbup:
