There is another Schatt scout that I ran across a few years ago. It is a smaller three blade. The four blade is 3 5/8” long and the three blade is 3 ¼”. This smaller knife must have come along late in the SXM business. One of the small scouts is stamped D K CORP (Dollar Knife Corporation) probably 1928 or so. Another small scout is stamped SXM and the other is stamped QUEEN CITY. Queen City bought the Schatt & Morgan facility in 1933 and we know they came into the factory and used the Schatt dyes, handle materials and patterns during the 1930’s. So these must have been during that transitional period between 1926 and into the 1930. The large scout has the early Winterbottom bone handles.
Also I have a 3 5/8” QUEEN CITY utility scout, is t is ugly but the only one I have ever seen.

David's knives are unbelievable. I saw him at a knife show once and he had a group of knives on a sale table. Even those were unbelievable.

Here is a little (3") bow tie pattern with some lovely bone scales. This knife has been a daily companion for a couple of years now. But sadly she will be going to a new home shortly. ::tear:: This little beauty is just to elegant to be stuck out here in the hills. She needs to go where the bright lights can shine on her perfect form! :roll:

Wow Dave,

That is a thing of beauty - while you're at it can you show us the top blade and bottom spring profiles.

Thanks for those pictures.
