I-XL WOSTENHOLM CANOE

[dweb1897]

This isn't a Schrade but it close... she's so darn pretty maybe you'll let it slide

[Quick Steel]

DWEB1897: A great looking knife for sure. Beautiful MOP.

Thanks for the good words...the depth of the Pearl sure is a stand out...I'm afraid I'll be looking for another MOP.

Now that's a looker! Schrade did indeed collaborate on some pearl IXL canoes. Not this one. A good-lookin' gal is welcome in any gatherin.' Wait a minute! Maybe this IS a Schrade collaboration? I think so.

From the tang stamp I would have guessed that it wasn't a collaboration, but then again, I bought it from Herman so it could be. I guess I'll just have to ask him.

Didn't Schrade own Wostenholm for awhile?

They sure did. I believe they started selling the knives in the Fall of 1980.Someone will know more about this but some of the Schrade/Wostenholmes were built in Sheffield and some were assembled in N.Y. from parts shipped from Sheffield. Schrade promised the collectors that they would keep exacting records of how many of each knife pattern were made in a calendar year and that information would be available upon request from the factory. If you want that info the address is Schrade Cutlery Corp,
Dept, I*XL
30 Canal St.
Ellenville N.Y. 12428
At least that's what is says in the paper
