Two very attractive & very useable knives here.
The Fixed Blade is new in the box "Schrade PH2E Mini Pro Hunter with Sheath". I believe the "E" indicates this knife & box was intended for European market. This is a USA Schrade that was re-handled in 2013 by Herman Williams. OAL is just a bit under 7". Very attractive knife to look at and in-hand, the kind you don't want to put down.
The folder is a 4 3/4" "I*XL-Schrade/Wostenholm" lockback from the 1980-81 collaboration between Schrade and Wostenholm that was briefly owned by Schrade. Never used, solid lock up, beautiful "sweeping" Clip blade. This knife is NOT marked "H.Williams" that i can see, but this Stag looks very much like that used by Herman.
Just for interest, the knives in the I*XL-Schrade Wostenholm series are Camillus made knives that were sent to Wostenholm in Sheffield for hafting and then returned to Schrade in Ellenville N.Y. for marketing & distribution. They are not really a Schrade knife.
My pictures here are TERRIBLE. The knives are Beautiful.
