All About Pocket Knives

By the time S&M left New York in late 1902, they were making some of the best cutlery in the USA. After moving to Titusville the company enjoyed a rapid growth, doubling the size of their factory. By 1911 S&M were producing 600 patterns of pocketknives and had sold millions of pocketknives and razors.
Please share anything you might have with a T-ville stamp!!
A handful...... Not such a handful....

Really nice green bone.... I have found that Stag is rather scarce on an original S&M....
Dave

Beauties all...very nice knives, knowtracks. You have some super sweet S&Ms, for sure.

This is my favorite one from my collection:

Schatt & Morgan Wharncliffe Half Whittler pattern #2156

Apparently it is called "Imitation Stag" in the catalog, but it looks a lot like Greenbone to me (thank you, Bruno, for researching and identifying it).

Another delicious set of bones. Wow, nobody makes it like that these days unfortunately. Fabulous. Lost technology/art. Sad.

Beauties, Dave...just gorgeous knives. I'm definitely going to have to start looking for more early S&Ms for my collection.

Thanks Ivoryman and QT !
Here's a Toothpick with some very nice bone....

The doc is awesome.

Thanks Edgy!!
Here's an LT-29 with Ebony covers.
The stripping tool locks open and to release it you depress the main into the well. This is a great EDC jack!! Nice thin blades!!
Dave

This is a pruner that was in pretty rough shape that I had cleaned up, re-handled, backspring filed and a fancy bail added!
Back in the day when you could still buy Mammoth Ivory online, I picked up the covers for this project.

Absolutely gorgeous mod: the mammoth, the file work...WOW...very nice. I'm turning green with envy at all these sweet S&Ms you're showing, Dave, and kicking myself for selling most of my S&M collection (although I must admit, it's nice to have the new roof on my house that the sale helped pay for).

Very Nice Dave

Thank You KK !!!
I appreciate a good roof QT ! Sometimes life doesn't leave us any choice!

Here is an advertising knife that is related to two things I love! Schatt and Morgan and riding!! A horticulture knife with French Ivory covers. This knife has super thin blades that cut like the dickens!!
This one gets carried quite often....
Dave

A dogleg jack!

Just now ran across this thread, great old knives, Dave!

Great bunch of knives Dave

Added this 3" gunstock this week, has great bone for the size knife, main blade tang stamp pretty worn but pen still nice.
