Quoted from http://www.jaysknives.com/customknives_5.htm
"The blades of these I*XL knives were made and put into storage in the 1980's by Parker Cutlery. The late Jim Parker licensed the I*XL name and decided to reproduce the most popular patterns in Japan. Subsequently, Parker Cutlery filed for bankruptcy and the blades have been in storage since then. They were recently found and are now available for purchase. Stainless clip blade has Logo etch with "WOSTENHOLM" tang stamp."

An I*XL for sale on Ebay says it's a SHEFFIELD G. WOSTENHOLM

A fella over at British Blades has a very educational post on Wostenholm blades, part of which said;

"A further bit of fodder for those who might be interested. In 1971, when Wostenholm’s were in the final stages of closing down and hanging on to life by a thread, I remember an American called Bill Adams from Atlanta making many frantic trips to Sheffield to Hoover up anything and everything he could find relating to the cutlery and allied trades.

He paid peanuts for taxi-loads of materials, show cases, marks, catalogues, knives: in fact anything on which he could lay his hands, including boxes of Wostenholm’s papers/records which for nearly a decade most people thought had been destroyed; that is until in the 1980’s when it became known that he’d ‘removed’ lots of Wostenholm papers on his hunting trips.
These documents were brought back to Sheffield City Libraries where they’ve remained ever since.

Adams wasn't the only one by any means; we had our own home grown scavengers who came up from London and elsewhere to enjoy the spoils, but Adams had taken the cream back to the U.S. where knife collectors must have thought all their Christmases had come at once. This is why so many mint-conditioned knives that find their way onto the market come from American sellers."

Given all this, there is no Wostenholm tang stamp on your knife so everything in this post may be usless and meaningless although everything I found regarding I*XL had the Wostenholm name attached to it. I'll be interested to see what the outcome is for this one.
