Tidings and the return of Schatt and Morgan?

[cudgee]

Something does not seem right here, no publicity, no release statement, you would expect at least a release announcement if trying to break into the knife market. Nothing.

Looking at the pic...can anyone guess what I'm thinking?

That F&F at the end caps doesn't look like it's worth $500.00

I’m still saving my money for this drop.

You'll need Deep Pockets my friend .....

You'll need Deep Pockets my friend .....

Wide pockets, too.

 

[JohnDF]

I was thinking "FAT" pockets.

Not to mention a massive palm to handle that thing

Not to mention a massive palm to handle that thing

After all these years, I finally have the answer.

People are always saying big hands, big _____. But they never finish the sentence. We just both nod and chuckle. As if society has taught let us both in on the same joke.

Well, the joke is on them now.

Big hands, big stag.

Reminds me of my Colonel Coon with a thick stag…but thicker even…

Liking the bolster stamp though…some of my favorites

Pinned shields is encouraging. I'm looking forward to seeing their completed products and I appreciate that they seem to be taking their time to dial things in. Hopefully that translates to a well made knife.

I wish them luck, any GEC alternative is welcome in my book. I do hope they get the prices closer to what we see from GEC dealers.

I’m a fan of that style jigging, looking great!

 

[AZCoyote]

I'm glad to hear these will still be made 100% in the USA. Hopefully with the return of S&M it will add much more supply into the market to ease the craziness of trying to get a GEC.

That jigging looks great and the green looks like camel bone. I hope pricing is reasonable…

The Newsletter that was send out with the photos above:

Yesterday afternoon, I took a trip down to Winchester, Ohio to meet with the new owner of Schatt&Morgan Cutlery, Gilbert Cooper. Mr. Cooper owns Cooper Cutlery who some of you may know as the company who purchased the Queen Cutlery machines and tools from the old Queen Cutlery factory in Titusville, PA. I also met with several of his employees who were all very wonderful and knife knowledgeable people.
Mr. Cooper has released his first trial run of knives which are known as the Weed & Co. cutlery line. Mr. Cooper informed me that he wanted to use the Weed & Co. cutlery line as a cutlery line to learn from before making and perfecting the Schatt&Morgan Cutlery line along with many other cutlery brands he owns.
Mr. Cooper expressed to me that he and his employees are well aware the Schatt&Morgan Cutlery line needs to be GEC quality or better, and nothing less is acceptable.
The new line of Schatt&Morgan Cutlery will consist of 1095 carbon steel blades with smooth bone and/or jigged bone handle materials. The knives will all be hand made, hand pinned, and hand sharpened in Winchester, Ohio, USA! The knives will be released with a box containing the new Schatt&Morgan Cutlery sticker label. It was great to see a preview of the new Schatt&Morgan Cutlery knives being made!
There is a lot of false information out there regarding what I have just mentioned. The information I have just listed, was learned from my personal visit to Cooper Cutlery. If anyone has questions regarding the new Schatt&Morgan Cutlery line or any new cutlery line by Cooper Cutlery, please contact me anytime and I will answer your questions.
I will be releasing the Weed & Co. cutlery line in a few days along with the GEC release. I will post more release details soon in a separate email.
You have my word that the new Schatt&Morgan Cutlery line will be a high quality, premium line of USA made knives in which the brand once was and should have always been.

Is that Comic Sans?

 

[mrknife]

i believe so

 

[JohnDF]

This is encouraging.
The jigging looks really good.
GEC needs some competition to bring their QC back up to where it needs to be at this price point.
