Thanks Richied I really appreciate you saying that... 
I try to make these sharp edged jewels look their best... 
Tank, you had me wondering out loud if you actually wiped that bothersome etch off...
Islander,
LOL, I don't know if I have them all (I wish
) but that's a great question. I would say that they are the exact same knife in terms of blade shape, swedge, and handle style. Even the lanyard hole is located in the same area. All three are totally made by Queen Cutlery Co with the exception of Northwoods who has more interaction on the scales of their knives.
Probably the blade steel is the only difference at this point on these three releases and of course the tang stamp. I wonder if 150 years from now folks will understand the bloodline relationships of a Schatt, Titusville or Northwoods Cotton sampler.
Northwoods steel is 1095 carbon
Schatt & Morgan is Queen Steel
Titusville Cutlery is 420 ss
Ps - Honestly this is not my favorite cotton sampler design, I like the more traditional cotton sampler model that is seen on the older vintage knives and currently being used on the Tony Bose/Case collaboration knives.
