couple of s&m wildcat drillers. big ole sleeveboards. might have to take in some ironing to pay for them!

two blade crimson bone and a f&w 3 blade, looks like a whittler pattern to me. they are as well made as any i've seen.

I gotta say those are SWEET. I'm not much for new knives, but those would be on the top of my list if so.

Nice pics too

Very nice. The only thing better than a Schatt & Morgan is 2 Shatt & Morgans. Thanks for the pic,

Johnnie, Those are some gems there my friend. There ain't nothin like the Schatts, IMO, And the more the better.

Thanks for the pics too. By the way, what do you charge for ironing?

Rutt Roh !!!! It looks like Johnnie has been bitten by that old Schatt's bug and by the looks of it a very big sucker...

I do believe that I see a pattern collector among the midst of us..

Very, very nice pickup my friend, I do believe you have scored a couple of nice ones..

Thanks for taking the time to share with us...NICE !!!

hey guys, read the s&m article in this issue of kw.

pa, i have bought more new knives since i joined this forum than ever before. i collect old case, and others. i bought a few new case patterns in the last 10 years and have been mostly not satisfied by their quality. however, queen is the premier american knife co. at this time(imo) and if new knives are not bought from the company now, there won't be any to sell or collect later. so i buy what i like that's new and look for old knives i can afford. these S&H knives are top drawer(not sunbursts)

keeps me from jonesin" when i'm looking for a particular old knife.
yes, my bout with the shatts is a losing battle, ralph and you are partially to blame. thanks.
that three blade is really cool, tapered and split center brass liner, no rubs. fit and finish, perfect. and yes, i guess i'm pattern collecting at this time. btw that rigid wildcat driller i showed is a queen through and through. only difference is the lack of mirror blade polishing and pin size.

so thanks for the comps and i'll show more when i get em!

Had a couple of questions about my "post the posties" post; Ahem!
To clarify, I was suggesting (tongue-in-cheek) that we take pictures of our mail delivery people, and put them up here. Not my most brilliant suggestion, and probably violates their privacy. We call mail people "posties" out west here. Oh well, back to knives (which my postie often brings me)!
