Re: Schatt and Morgan, Titusville Pa. 1903 - 1933
Great jack, Dave. Two blade jacks at 3 1/2" to 4" are my favorite knife to carry.

Thank You danno, DM11, stockman, QT, Ivoryman and cudgee! I appreciate your encouragement! Keeps me goin!!
I'm reasonably certain this would be considered a premium stockman. A little unusual with having 2 clip blades instead of a spey. At 4" closed, lined bolsters, nice cut swedges and again decent jigged bone!

Thank You Lyle, danno and MB!!!
Here are a couple of pen knives before we get back to the meat and spuds.
A well used Wharncliffe with obviously celluloid covers.... I believe this is also celluloid but I really don't know how to tell real tortoise shell..... perhaps someone here does?

Dave enjoying this S & M knife thread you started! I should have posted these two earlier but I forgot to and here we are.
I think you saw the lock back folding Hunter when I snagged it at OKCA a few years ago.
The bottom one is another advertising Jack I bought from someone right here on AAPK 4-5 years ago.
Thanks

Re: Schatt and Morgan, Titusville Pa. 1903 - 1933
Two real Beauties right there Lloyd!! You prompted me to dig mine out and to a comparison with the lockback....soon to follow!
I also have one of those metal "tweezers" Miller Bro's!! Only two I've ever seen but I'd bet they made a bunch of em!
Thank You Danno!!
Here's a barehead jack with some sweet honey bone that looks like it's brand new! Half stops and snaps like a trap!!

Re: Schatt and Morgan, Titusville Pa. 1903 - 1933
Thanks cudgee! Than one is as close to pristine as any T-ville Schatt that I've ever seen!
Week or so back Lloyd/Duffer posted his Beautiful Lockback and Advertising S&M's, and it got me to thinkin........
One of the things that was so to me was that Queen bought Schatt and Morgan lock, stock and barrel. So that when, under Bill Howard's hand, Queen decided to make the Annual Reproduction or Keystone Series and then the File and Wire Series, they were making these old S&M patterns with the same old original machinery, set-ups, tooling and work benches. Making the same exact pocket cutlery, in the same exact way, at the same exact work stations as they were made dang near a 100 yrs ago. Still basically made by hand by skilled cutlers. I really hated to see Queen go down so much American cutlery history.
Anyway....... that was the long way around the barn for this comparison of the Original and the F&W Lockbacks.
I expect everyone reading this knows it's a big knife @ 5 1/2" and the lock release is positioned way closer to the pivot than most lockbacks.
Just the bottom bolster and subtle differences between the two. The rat tail size and where the cut swedge stops. The pull placement and length, pin locations, thickness of the blade and spring are exactly the same.

Great comparison, Dave. Beautiful knives, the old one more so.

Re: Schatt and Morgan, Titusville Pa. 1903 - 1933
Ditto that...a very sad day indeed. Although, unfortunately, the quality under the DFC stamped S&Ms took a nose dive compared to the Keystone and File & Wire series. At best it was was so hit-or-miss you never knew exactly what you were getting unless you could hold and examine the knife in person before purchasing.knowtracks wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 12:52 am I really hated to see Queen go down so much American cutlery history.

In contrast, the Tuna Valley brand, which is owned by the Daniels family, produces top-notch, semi-custom quality knives. I don't understand why they couldn't have kept Queen alive by employing the same strategy.

Thank You Lloyd and Danno! I have been remiss in this thread here lately
A lockback with saber clip, @ 4 1/2" closed some decent jigged bone...
