I' just picked up a Schatt & Morgan 061222 Medium Coke Bottle. It's part of their 2013 Keystone line up. When I search sellers of this knife I get different descriptions. I've seen Amber stag bone and Mahogany Sambar Stag for the scales. I've seen D2 and 420 for blade steel. Nothing came with the knife to describe it. No paperwork and nothing on the box. I'm banking on 420 stainless with Mahogany Sambar Stag scales because that's what Queen.com has for it. I've put it into my EDC rotation so it's at the end of it's line here. I just think it's either weird or they made 2 different types of the same pattern. I haven't taken any pics of my knife but it looks exactly like the pics below.
What do you Guys think? Is it just confusion or did they make different 061222's ?

Queen's D2 nearly always has "PH-D2" on the tang.

That Mahogany Stag is beautiful. It looks much better in the pictures in your post and on Clarence Risner's web site, than it does in the Queen promo pictures.

I think Queen usually names its handle materials in somewhat funny names, such as . "PA Mountain Moss Green. However once they are done, distributors and re-sellers name stuff whatever they want or whatever they are familiar with. Ebay is just loaded with mislabeled Queen knife handle material, and this includes many experienced high-volume, and respectable dealers. I just got a nice smooth black cherry delrin minihunter (41L SBC, 2004) at a decent price because it was labled "magenta"... OK. I like company catalogs for this reason and especially like the company's web site efforts, since they put their own name on it.
For me, the issue is they make so many SFO knives that when you see an unusual handle label, you wonder is this a different knife or just a mislabeled knife. I guess that is where individual collecting takes over. Havefun.
