Same tool. Tenons are cut with a hollow auger.
I'm amazed to see the variety of tools that have been designed to cut tenons.
"By December 5, 1911, when the last patent was issued for a hollow auger, 85 styles had been patented."

Considering the above, and I am no expert, jblyttle's tenon cutter/hollow auger looks like a G. N. Stearn's patent:




1895 Montgomery Ward ad:

On a side note, prior to cutting a tenon with a hollow auger, a chamfer was put on the workpiece. This allowed the auger blade space to start the cut.

Often done with a spoke pointer:

 
Wednesday morning flea, $110. Good stuff here, NOS files, a very old hand forged Jersey/Rockaway, another big Norlund, nice knives and I believe my very first Gransfors that I've ever found. Strange considering the thousands of axes/heads that have passed through my hands. I've found Sandvik heads, HF heads, several Wetterlings and a couple other Swedish brands, but never one of these.

Nice, are those bottom 2 folders KA -BAR perhaps ?
I definitely recognize the particular shield and handle combination from somewhere.

The scout is a Camco, the Barlow is a Sabre USA. Most Sabre folding knives are Japan.
Yep, I have a sabre USA Swiss style scout that was made by colonial.
I don't think this would be made by colonial though because their standard construction Barlow's all have 3 pins vs 4, and my particular knife is standard colonial production. This would suggest Sabre just went with whatever the companies already made.

Edit: this does look quite a bit like one of colonials " heavy duty " Barlow's ( standard non shell construction ), and many of the sabre Japan Barlow's I see have 4 pins so it is possible that they had colonial add an extra pin to fit with their other offerings.
