Are all Schatt & Morgan stainless steel?

[BKS33]

From what I can find , S/M are typically all some type of stainless steel. What I’m wondering is, if that’s a blanket thing. Are some of them high carbon?

I have one in carbon from the Heritage series.

As you can tell by the patina on my large Schatt & Morgan toothpick here, it is definitely not stainless. I don't know a lot about S&M's knives, since I got interested in traditionals right around when they went out of business, but I've seen a fair amount of carbon steel knives from them.

Heritage series, 1095 steel

This was a late made knife, and not 420HC

neither was this 420HC

this was advertised as 440C, but, not marked or cataloged, so it could be.

you can't see it in this picture, but the spear point blade is marked ATS 34

I am going to say there is absolutely no consistency in the steels of late Schatt & Morgan knives, unless the blade is marked, and, not all were! The only carbon steels I saw being offered were 1095, so if the blade rusts, you have a 1095 knife! Other than that, you will have to find an advertizement before those disappear. There were more uncataloged Schatt & Morgans than cataloged. As you can see, 1 of 30, 1 of 200, these short runs were common. I only know what I purchased before the company went bust.

The Schatt & Morgan Key Stone series was 420 HC.
The Schatt & Morgan File & Wire series was ATS-34.
The Heritage series was 1095.
