Bret & I went to a Gun show today & we got this Schatt. According to David Clark's catalog books, it is a 1160 pattern. It was made in Gowanda, NY. Schatt & Morgan was only in that location for about 5 years, 1890-1895. It is a real handfull!

Does that coping blade have a gentle curve on the spline? If so ,what is the function ,other than aesthetic.Does it align in some patterns better?

Seems an older style blade that I find very appealing,as does this frame. ::nod:: (Dimitri's ®) :lol:

Again ,beautiful knife David.

I am probably not the best person to say what this Wharncliffe blade was designed for. I did fine this site that has some information.

Below is another Sterling Silver handled whittler.

I was referring to the curve? on the COPING BLADE. Appreciate your response ,though.

By the way,another beautiful knife.I am starting to appreciate the smaller knives also,as heretofore not as much.

Probably better in another forum?

Sorry. I misunderstood. The coping blade spine is straight however.

Speaking of small knives - check out this 1 1/2" jack.
