Schatt & Morgan mismatched grinds

Schatt & Morgan knives were first manufacturer back in 1890. The Queen Cutlery company made most of the more recent examples, but Schatt had its own plant in its earlier years that cranked out the oldies. There is no shortage of fantastic Schatt & Morgan knives in existance that have been made over the brand's long & storied history.

Schatt & Morgan mismatched grinds

Post by RWB »

Does anyone else have S&M knives with blades having mismatched blade profiles (the grind from where it begins at the top down to the edge)? On the keystone it's seen at the point and on the F&W at the ricasso end. Is this fairly common?

RWB,
Just saw this thread. Surprised the 1991 S&M had the issue. Many of the Queen Schatt & Morgan knives exhibit superb craftsmanship. The good ones are really good. However that being said I’ve had 3 Schatt & Morgans with poor grinds. All were later knives. My particular burnt stag & red elk stag shown here were pitifully executed with more than one grind angle. My black micarta hunter exhibited haphazard workmanship and lack of quality control. It went from no grind bevel to almost beveled but about as dull as a spoon overall.
