Schatt & Morgan knives were first manufacturer back in 1890. The Queen Cutlery company made most of the more recent examples, but Schatt had its own plant in its earlier years that cranked out the oldies. There is no shortage of fantastic Schatt & Morgan knives in existance that have been made over the brand's long & storied history.

Jerry - you really are a jack knife man! Beautiful knives! I think I have seen that Orvet knife before, but I agree with Bdev that we need the back story.
Bruno, Mel, I wasn't ignoring you. For some reason I didn't make it back here and didn't see your posts.
There's not much of a story to that knife. Yes, it was done by Dale (pretty obvious with his mark prominently on the blade) and yes it started life as a Camillus Electrician's knife. I guess he just decided I needed it and it showed up in the mail one day. You could have knocked me over with a feather. That's been close to four years ago and I'm still in awe of it. Makes my eyes sparkle every time I see it. I appreciate all the knives with which I've been gifted but there's a few that are especially special and this is one of them. Thank you Dale. Semper Fi brother.

That's the best electrician's knife I've ever seen. PERIOD!
I won't argue with you on that one. I gotta tell ya, that electrician's knife is an amazing canvas for mod's. Between Dale and Glenn, they have done some stunners.

No problem, Jerry! Thanks for the story. And your new photos completely bears out my comment that you really are a jack knife man! Really nice knives and fine photos!

This is a Centenary 1902 - 2002 Horn Handle and MOP shield F&F is exceptional.

From the Keystone Series XII they called it the #14113L Lockback Mountain Man. There were seven knives in that series. Two were MOP, one black, the other white. The other five knives in the series had a white MOP shield. ---> http://www.traditionalpocketknives.com/ ... toneSeries

Speaking of handsome knives, some time back I ran onto this modified #29 English Jack on another forum and fell in love with it. Even looked into getting an extra #S&M 042 129 English Jack F&W Series 3 Edition 2 from 2005 so I could have the same thing done. Other interests popped up and that idea kind of petered out.
Clarence Risner's grandson must have seen that knife and loved it as much as I, because C. Risner Cutlery put in a Special Factory Order and had a run made very similar to that knife. I'm excited. Just ordered one this morning. It comes in three different handles. Smooth White Bone, Black Saw Cut Bone and Amber Whiskey Catalina

S&M 's in mother-of-pearl...my photography leaves a bit to be desired, doesn't capture the fire well at all. But, I do like the lighting in the early morning.
Guess I'll post this Executive Jack here as well (also posted in Wharncliffe thread). I really like this stripped down, bare bones version with no shield or blade etch.
A beautiful barlow Tsar. Congrats. While I have a couple of large barlows, for personal use I prefer the standard sized barlows. However, looking at yours, I think that particular one could make me change my mind. But it is just to impressive for me to put to work.
