Comment by Ken Spielvogel on November 2, 2013 at 7:34: On a tip from Ricky, got this IXL off ebay. IXL Schrade Sheffield England. M0259. What year do you think this is Ricky.??

Comment by Ricky L McConnell on October 30, 2013 at 15:59: Just got a Schrade IXL stockman. The add said it was from 1987, but after doing some checking, it is actually from 1981. The knife looks brand new. Will post some pics soon.

Comment by Ricky L McConnell on October 29, 2013 at 21:37: Knife collecting can be confusing sometimes. I bought a knife on Ebay and the next day a knife in the same condition as the one I bought went for half the price. Anyone experience this or have advice.

Comment by Pat Kennedy on October 26, 2013 at 14:10: I picked up this Near-Mint Schrade Heritage jumbo whittler on eBay last week. It's replacing a similar piece in the display case that was in much lower grade condition.

Comment by Ricky L McConnell on October 25, 2013 at 18:23: Looking at a schrade ixl stockman on Ebay. Are these good knives ? This is a stockman with brown bone handles, looks to be near mint condition. The add says it is from 1987. Are these hard to find ?

Featured Comment by Steve Riordan on October 23, 2013 at 20:46: Thanx Steve, I wish it was cleaner, but I really like the age on this one. It wasn't really meant to be "Pretty"

The spring and actions are very smooth and crisp, and the blade is SUPER sharp.

I also have the Orange "Nam" one, also Schrade in Very Clean Condition. Maybe I'll put some shots of It too!

I like automatics a lot but you have to be careful of State Laws "Big Brother" Even though I have a Concealed Weapons Permit, IT's still a problem

Comment by Brad T. on October 21, 2013 at 12:54: 156ot Lil' Finger sold on eBay over the weekend for $72.00!! It didn't even have the original sheath. I paid 1/3 that amount for mine. It is a wonderful Lil' knife, but not for $72.

Comment by Brad T. on October 10, 2013 at 16:05: Ken,

Sorry I didn't see your post earlier. That handle material is most likely Delrin, whether it is smooth or saw cut it is still nearly indestructible.
