Picked this up at a show Friday. My first Schrade. Dealer's tag had "I-XL Grand Prize" on it. Could use some education on that term and the stamping on the rear bolster which is 'S, W, third character unknown, and 1'.
Thanks and have a great Sunday,
Randy

For a brief time (1980-1982 or 83, if I am not mistaken), Schrade owned George Wostenholm & Son of Sheffield England.
Here are several Schrade fliers from 1980 to 1982.
The last flyer shows your knife.
Hope this helps.

I believe the last character in the hallmark on your knife (1) stands for 1981.
