Who's into S & M?

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.

Ryan Daniels had some of these at his table in January and we talked about them a little. According to Ryan the wood starts out smooth. Then they zap it with a jolt of electricity to create the lightning strike effect.

I like it a lot and I would have bought one if he had one in a pattern that interested me.

So, is the surface all 'flat' or are there fissures going down into the wood ? In pictures it looks as though there are deep fissures but this would trap dirt & debris so perhaps it is surface scarring that looks like fissures ?

The fissures on my 01 do not appear to go any deeper into the wood than the larger areas of charred scarring. The charred fissures appear to follow some of the natural grain lines in the wood but seem fairly superficial...not like a crevasse that extends deep into ice. But, I can only tell you what I am able to observe on my particular knife's handle...I don't know if this is the case with all Lightening Strike Wood handles, YMMV.

Thanks Q. These L.S. wood handles remind me of mammoth handles. In pictures some mammoth appears to have a very uneven surface, like chicken pox on the face. But in person the mammoth surface is almost smooth, the 'pox' are not raised and the cracks have no depth. Probably this L.S. wood is similar.
Some irregularity aids with wet grip, but deep grooves, fissures would trap gunk which would rot making the knife fetid. Phun with words today !

Gentlemen those are two mighty fine looking jack knives. Bruno if that is a fresh ebay buy, I had it on my watch list but ended up buying a very different knife instead of trying to snag that one.

Thanks......yes it was an ebay buy. I bid high but got it for a fair price.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. That was too hard to pass up for $25.00. Stag, plus it's a 2005 which was when Bill Howard was still there.
Thank you

2007 Schatt & Morgan #043176 Whittler in Brown Sheffield. Fit & finish is flawless. The covers are basically Black. A hint of deep purple in the blazing sunlight at the bolsters. Has anyone else ever seen this Brown Sheffield?
