Who's into S & M?

[stockman]

Jerry that S&M is the ones that lovers of old knives dream about.

That's a great old knife.
When these old knives were made, the craftsman that built these knives never thought they'd be used a hundred years later. Amazing.

The 4 1/4" Cigar pattern in any brand is a favorite of mine. The mark on this knife is S x M Gowanda NY which dates from 1897 to 1902. It has been used and sharpened and could use some TLC from an appearance standpoint. It is made from heavy stock with tight blades and tremendous snap. In the top down view notice how tightly the master spear and pen blades fit and sit in the blade well. Despite this tightness, there is no blade rub evident on either blade.

It will be another sad day in the knife world if we lose the knife making heritage of S&M.

That S&M is in incredible shape for a hundred year old knife. I do like the precision of the asymmetric grind and the fitting of those blades in the top down photo.

Jerry,there was an unused large cigar with the same stamp at the Queen Show this past summer.I tried to buy it ,but it was already spoken for. A guy that is a forum member got it.I told him if he ever wanted to pass it on,to keep me in mind.It was a show stopper.

I hope the forum member sees this and posts pictures. It looks like several us would really enjoy seeing it.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging comments.

Couple of my latest S&M acquisitions...gotta grab 'em while you still can...these may be brand new knives but they're the last of a dying breed (so sad).

The 01 pattern is most attractive whether with stag or smooth bone. I am going to look for one. with mammoth if they exist & if i can afford it.

As the preceding posts by Q illustrate, I doubt that any knife manufacturer ever made prettier knives than S&M. S&M was the first production knife I ever bought [canoe] and I suspect one day it will be the last.

I can't seem to get enough of the S&M #99 Executive Jack; probably my #1 all-time favorite Queen pattern.
This Whiskey Catilena Bone EJ has ATS-34.

~Q~ you're knocking it out of the park with all those fine Schatts!

I though I had posted a few knives in this thread but I did a search and I think I've only posted one. Here are a few more.

[philco]

You guys are showing some great looking knives.

Railsplitter that congress really flips my switch !

[Railsplitter]

Thanks Phil. I want to carry it so badly but it's just a little too big and heavy. A very well built knife though.

[QTCut5]

Great S&M show, Rick.

Guess it's time for some photos of my Schatt & Morgan family groups.

[bdev]

Great knives guys, great knives.

OK. I know the knives below are not S&M stamped. They're Queen City but most likely made from S&M patterns.

BTW......Risner has some really nice S&M's on sale. Check it out if you have some disposable income.

These last 2 pages of this thread are showing some outstanding knives fellas, some of the prettiest Queen & S&M knives I've seen. Thanks for sharing the pics Railsplitter, Farside, QT Cut5 and Bdev.

[bdev]

I sold off most of my S&M's but saw this one on Risners sight at a great price so I ordered it. Not sorry at all.
Sowbelly 033160 with Torched Stag handles. 3 springs.

That's one fine looking knife.

Thanks Phil.

That's a major score at that price. Nice stag. Congratulations. Well done, sir.

This Schatt & Morgan Factory Sample (1 of 1) Wharncliffe #22 Smooth Red Bone Small Coke Bottle set me back $110; but, just look at it...how was I supposed to resist such a rare beauty? (As is often the case, money was just a temporary obstacle, not a permanent impediment.)
