Been a couple years since I've posted any old Schatt's on this thread.
I will only post the ones over 100 yrs old, before S&M moved to Titusville. They shut their doors in 1928 so we still have another 7 yrs before the Pennsylvania knives are considered "antique" After all the is the "OLD" knives thread!
This knife is the brother to the one posted back 360 pages or so ago....

Dave, that EO jack is a beauty, love the deep swedge on the main, almost a saber grind.

I love pick bone Thanks Rachel !

Impressive knife. Pick bone is wonderful stuff.

Thanks Mike

Great scores Rob! They went to a good home.

Hard not to like pruners with all the curves and long swedges, Thanks Charlie

Mighty fine pruner; patina unsullied, gorgeous handles - and it's one of my favorite patterns!! Hoarder's Heaven!!
Nice acquisition, Rob!!

The pruner slope feels slippery Thanks Duncan

Rob
You scored a stunner there- as our good friend Charlie says- those Pruners get in your Blood and can quickly become an expensive habit!

Beautiful S&M Dave Next to impossible to find one in similar condition

I was pretty happy earlier this year to add a Flylock to my collection. These early Geo. Schrade knives are not common. But imagine my surprise when I found another.

Nice examples, eisman.
I'm a big fan of Flylock knives which had a very short run of about ten years (1918 - 1929).
Enclosed is a fisherman's example with a neat blade etch.

Here are a couple of NYKC dog leg or serpentine jacks I was able to acquire from the Charles Lamb (chuko) collection. The top one with the spear blade is 3 & 1/2 inches closed and the bottom one with the clip blade is 3 & 3/8 inches closed.

 

[Mike Robuck]

Very nice nyk knives! I think there’s something on the back of one?

 

[eisman]

Note they used the exact same cast scales on both yours and my example. Love the etching!

 

[Luger1952]

Thanks Mike — oh yeah there is some black ink on the back of the clip blade one

 

[Mike Robuck]

You beat me to that one Lloyd. Both are great. Congrats.

Beautiful knives H herder and Lloyd !!
Thank You for the comments Mike, Duncan, Augie , Charlie and rockman0 !
I appreciate ALL of you taking the time and sharing their knives here on the "porch" Some GREAT photos!!

You have to sight-in your rifle to get claws like those, Duncan!!

Actually in this particular case Charlie My Friend, I persuaded a beautiful cinnamon colored black bear to come home with me using a bow....
A Traditional recurve bow and wood arrows! Used the same bow to get the cat claws that have been posted before.

I know virtually nothing about Butler brand knives other than the G. Butler & Co Sheffield made ones have been manufactured since forever ago... I believe they had the oval logo like the one on your tang stamp. Based entirely on the look/construction of it I would guess around the turn of the century, pre WWI. You just didn't see that many fancy gentleman's knife post WWI... it has extra "jimping" on the liners, long pulls and nice manicure tool. The presence of the "England" on the tang stamp also points to it being made no earlier than ~1895 (+/-). Also looks like carbon steel blades, likely would have been stainless if it were made post WWI. I could be totally wrong of course but just my gut feeling... maybe one of our Sheffield experts will have more info. If you can post some more pictures of the tang stamps it would be helpful.

Great knife! I like the old gentleman's knives and that stag is great

Thanks knowtracks, and always a treat to see one or more of your rare S&M knives.
Luger, two exceptionally nice NYK examples.
ed, nice old Butler Senator model. I agree with V.P. that it is an early 1900s model.

 

[herder]

Note they used the exact same cast scales on both yours and my example. Love the etching!

Thanks, and all the molded handles that I have seen are the same for the large handles, and the same for the smaller handles.
