Johnny what constitutes a cotton sampler?

This is my best definition that I can come up with of a "Cotton Sampler"..

These knives were used to remove samples of cotton from bales for classification purposes....usually having a long shank or tang to go deep into the bales.

garddogg56...I hope this helps..BTW , I have only seen 2 types..the rounded version and the squared version.

So far..no one has posted a pic of a vintage one.

...I'm sure someone will soon.

Beautiful knives, guys.

I have been wanting a Cotton Sampler for several years - looking for an older one.

I bid on this one the other night, but didn't win it. I am not a Schatt & Morgan expert - I am assuming this one was the real deal? These old ones don't show up on e-bay very often.

Was watching that one on the bay and lost interest. Never would have guessed it'd top $100.

Are you new to Macs?

singin46 · Post by **singin46** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:30 pm

No, we have owned them since they first came out years ago cause my wife
is a graphic designer. She doesn't do that work anymore but I ain't never gonna buy anything
else.

Cool......I've been running Macs for over 10 years now.

What are these "Mac's" of which you speak ??? What kinda of blade steel is used in them? Brass liners? Handle material choices, I can't wait to CF & CE them!!!

And here we have it - an authentic, vintage cotton sampler - an old Kutmaster, in excellent shape except for some blade wobble. The wobble makes me think this was actually used for sampling cotton, since the motion of coring out a plug from a cotton bale would put a lot of sideways stress on a blade. To my amazement, I was the only bidder on this ebay knife, and got it for $9.99 plus shipping!

very nice find... don't see cotton samplers everyday. if the sideplay bothers you it can be fixed

I saw that. I almost bid on it but I thought it was a rope knife. Guess I should learn to pay a little closer attention. Good buy.
