Schatt & Morgan single blade doctor

[lycurgus]

anyone own this beauty? what are your thoughts on backspring? or anything else in general?

i bought one.
i'm actually looking to get rid of mine.
i like all of queen's dr. knives for the most part (except ones with the spatula blade).
the blade action is typically very easy with no half stops.
this particular one was a little bit of a letdown for me, though.
the fit & finish on mine was not what i had come to expect from queen.
don't get me wrong - it's still nicer than your average case, imho.
it's just not as nice as the schatts were 3-5 years ago.
of all the knives they've built on the dr. frame, the premier small english jack and 2001 marble's doc are still my favorites.

here's the premier:



and here's the marble's:



gotta love them matchstrike nail pulls!
