As long as Gilbert keeps quality up, they will be as hot as GEC... People want traditionally made, USA cutlery; and there willing to pay for it.

Has anyone verified that these are 100% USA made, both the component parts and the final assembly? Not saying that they aren't, but at these price points they ought to be 100% on both...WillyCamaro wrote: ↑Mon Dec 13, 2021 10:11 pmYup, the demand is there mate.1967redrider wrote: ↑Mon Dec 13, 2021 2:41 pm

Honestly, if brass comes from China, pin stock from Canada, bone from India, blades from USA; I could care less!
As long as the knife is of good quality, made as He states, them I'm 100% all-in.

Re: It's official! New USA Schatt & Morgan's are coming this winter!
Agreed with all you said, but I'm not convinced the "wind dummies" are out there yet. Over a month and many days later they are still available. I guess it's not quite as popular as a GEC release and for good reason. Looks like cheap lame bone on my computer from all the pics I saw. And the retail price of $499 to me is absolutely ridiculous and insulting. $250 is a joke too. They don't even charge near that much for a new GEC and GEC is a proven winner. Even $250 seems clueless for an unproven, unknown quantity and quality. I don't see anyone on the forums or youtube singing their praises either. That they are not selling out by now says a lot too. Starting to feel like all hype and deception to me. If they were that good the selling would show it immediately. Not happening. Thanks for all the info and links though all of you. It was interesting to peruse, but you couldn't get me to be the wind dummy if you paid me half the price so I only had to put in half the price to get one. Big disappointment looking at them anyway. Your results may vary.QTCut5 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 9:26 pmHere's the link:

I like the looks of the EO Bomber Jack, especially the tang stamp...very cool!! (I assume the "G Co" that is incorporated into the S&M stamp stands for "Gilbert Cooper")
S&M Jack.jpg
But, the $250 price tag seems a bit steep, IMO (suggested MSRP is $499.95 ). That's Tuna Valley prices...are these knives on the same quality level as Tuna Valley?? I guess there's only one way to find out. In the windsurfing community there's a term for the first person to go out on the water each day and "test the wind"...they're called the "wind dummy". I wonder who will be the "knife dummy", i.e., the first person willing to risk $250 to find out if it's worth the money? (Hint: it won't be me.)
I was intrigued by the "Our Choice Old School" option at the bottom of the page, which appears to be an offer in which for $175 Cutlery Corner selects an "old school" knife for you that is supposedly worth $329.95 (MSRP). Are there really people willing to risk that much on a knife they can't even see before buying? I've never seen this tactic used with knives before.

Here's one of these new S&M Tdrops like the one on the previous page, only it's on the auction block. Maybe that will give us a little more objective idea of what the market thinks these are worth as opposed to the suggested retail price. Interesting watch anyway.

Re: It's official! New USA Schatt & Morgan's are coming this winter!
I see the Weed knives were sold through dealers but I don’t see any of these new Schatt and Morgans anywhere for sale. Did they sell out already? Am I missing something? This one that Silverladdie has is a good looking knife, but the crack in the handle is a deal killer for me. It’s too bad the first one to appear is either a factory second or is it representative of what the new knives will be like?

Re: It's official! New USA Schatt & Morgan's are coming this winter!
I have not seen any of these for sale at any outlets. There were photos posted of the first release well in production posted well before Xmas. So no, you are not missing any thing.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 10:12 pm I see the Weed knives were sold through dealers but I don’t see any of these new Schatt and Morgans anywhere for sale.

Re: It's official! New USA Schatt & Morgan's are coming this winter!
The Blue Stag Teardrop sold for $285.88. But, I am skeptical as to whether that tells us anything about the demand for or quality of the knife itself since I'm seeing knives I bought just last year for $60-$80 selling for two or three times that much. If anything, I think it tells us that knife prices are increasing across the board (although maybe not so much for the knives made in China).

Re: It's official! New USA Schatt & Morgan's are coming this winter!
For example:
I have purchased about a dozen of this model (1991 S&M 042151) and the most expensive one only cost $85, all the others cost between $60-$75.
This is the second one I've seen sell for over $150 in the last two months.

IMO this development in price increase could be directly related to Covid. I just got a new warehouse job at a place the sells bike & motocross accessories + a few bikes & elektro bikes. They only sell on the internet. They had 20 people before Covid & now have 50 people working there. They have more than doubled in just over two years. More people are at home due to, home office, lock downs or the general fear of going out. Plus the fact that many have not been traveling on vacations as much so they have more money in their pockets. And I believe that many people who, up untill covid, had avoided online shopping have now gotten used to it. Many were forced to improve their online skills and have done it. Just my opinion.

Re: It's official! New USA Schatt & Morgan's are coming this winter!
No doubt about the shift to online. You are correct that many were forced to shop online, improved their skills and now embrace it. Just the other day i purchased an item online, i would have gone to the store and bought it physically once, but petrol would have been 1/2 the postage cost, so i thought i don't need it today, so why go through the hassle when i could have it delivered for not much more than the cost of petrol, and the convenience.TPK wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 5:08 amHi Q,QTCut5 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 2:40 am The Blue Stag Teardrop sold for $285.88.

That being said i would like to see a statement from management about what is actually happening with Schatt&Morgan. It's all speculation at the moment.
Re: It's official! New USA Schatt & Morgan's are coming this winter!
Good point about the comparison of gas prices vs. shipping prices. I didn't think of that one because gas prices here are so outrageous ( at like $8 a Gallon ) that shipping prices have often been a fair trade compared to traveling somewhere to pick up something. Depending on how far you have to go to get something. Can you pick it up on your way home from work or do you have to make an "extra trip" out of town to get it.
In fact, gas prices here are so outrageous that I am concidering buying a motorcycle to save on gas money. Of course I would only drive it by good weather. I probably won't buy one because I don't have the money for one but with our gas prices it's worth a thought & I actually mentioned it to my wife just yesterday. I'd love to have a Suzuki Van Van 200ccm with the fat ballon tires. I need about €50 a week to drive to my new job. Which is about $57. I could save 1/2 of that money with a motorcycle. That's well over $100 a month.
I'll also add in that IMO, a large % of those who improved their computer & online shopping skills were probably from the older generations who had more spending money in their pockets to begin with. Good if your selling stuff online. Bad if your not.

Re: It's official! New USA Schatt & Morgan's are coming this winter!
Don't know what is happening with the actual name Schatt&Morgan. On the Coopers cutlery website there are 12 brand names mentioned but no Schatt & Morgan. This resurrection was first mentioned about 2 years ago, been a long time in the pipe line. Also on their website there are only brand names, no actual knives for sale, very strange.
