Schatt and Morgan, Titusville Pa. 1903 - 1933

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.

That is a big beauty, Dave! ::tu:: Interesting matchstriker pull. Doesn't appear to be much space between the top of the teeth and the top of the pull?

Thank You edge213 and danno! ::tu:: The pull does look that way in the photo Dan but there is room enough for your nail but this thing is a bear to open and snaps like an old turtle!! :shock:
Another single saber blade from David Clark's collection. At 4 1/2" closed, this one sports a hounds tooth shield and more of a pick bone jig but a little deeper than regular pick bone..... if that makes any sense :roll:

Thank You edge213 and danno! :) I didn't think about that knife having a copperhead bolster Dan! It makes for a sunk joint which helps out on pocket wear with it being a somewhat larger pocketknife.

Love, LOVE, love that one. Thanks for showing all these. I didn't realize what a fan I was of old S&M until you started posting. Now I'm a lover of them, browse the ones I see, and look for others. You're like an S&M museum. Hats off to you for your collection of them and showing them and the photography, and for getting me interested in the brand. Keep them coming, loved checking out every one you've posted. And don't worry about posting twice like that Boy Scout. It's out pleasure. Wow, what a Boy Scout knife. ::not_worthy::

I know you posted this knife back on Page 6, but any info on the copper bail? I have a Keen Kutter with a copper bail and the same kind of opener, I think it might have been made for the Canadian military/navy.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I seen both brass and copper used on the old knives, as far as I know it was to keep the bail from corroding. There was a lanyard attached and that would hold moisture especially on the sea with salt water it would rust fast if it was steel.

There is a heavy patina on this knife and I don't buff my old knives so I did not see the military marks but they might be there, pretty sure this one was made for the Canadian military ::nod::

Thanks for looking ::tu::

Posting these two (Jess Crouch and Chris Wolf) because of their ties to Schatt & Morgan. I believe they were last made in 1915 for Sears.

There are lots of really gorgeous old knives in this thread, I'm blown away when I scroll through them.
