What do you think of Schatt & Morgan?

Sunnyd, that Teardrop makes a fine battery terminal cleaner! Really attractive pattern, I believe it's stainless and that's useful for corrosive tasks.The punch is a handy probe tool . I'd like to get hold of one of those knives,hard to find though.

Looking on my box it says No.99 Harness Jack Green Jig Bone. All I know is, it's a very decent piece of bone.

I do not have the box anymore but if that is what yours reads than thanx for the info and clearing it up for me.

Also, the tear drop HJ with SS is perfect for the all around automotive chores on my property along with many other uses. I have used that punch blade for many, many chores that conventional blades cannot even touch.. For instance, its a great reamer for lots of material. I used it not to long ago to custom fit and old gas line and gas filter to my tractor.. Saved me from going into town and spending $$$ at the feed store for a new one. :) :thumbup:

As far as others mentioning they'd like to see more steel choices, I've had S&M's in SS, 1095, and ATS-34. I've also had many Queens in the same as well as D-2. That is a pretty good array of steel to choose from fellows, don't you think?.

Additionally, make no mistake about the S&M line, they may look purrdy and all and of coarse collectors like them, but they are a hard working knife, no question about it. :cool: :thumbup:
 
I think that using 420 is contraproductive...
Cost-wise is the difference between 420 and "premium" steels hardly few dollars per knife.
People probably would not even notice price difference...

There are specific reasons I use SS on some cutting chores and Carbon steel on others.

They all(steels) have there uses as it pertains to the type of task you are working on.

Schatt & Morgan are the production knives that I collect. :D And in my opinion they re the top American made production knife out there. BUT for the most part they are collectors knives. And that is the way Queen promotes them. Most of the Annual Series knives & most of the SFO's are 420 high carbon SS.
The File & Wire line has ATS-34 steel with a few exceptions. But with just a couple of exceptions all the F&W knives are quite large, 4 1/4" +
But I love um! And for a moden production knife they have gained in value over time, which can not be said for most other brands.

I have been using the 3 1/2 stockman as a user.
It is solid!
I have no doubt that it will take hard work.

The more I am using it the better the steel seems than Case's SS

I couldn't agree more Neeman:) I'm sure that no matter what steel is used it's about the heat treat. Peters Heat Treating has been doing Queens blades for some time now. And no matter what steel is used they do an excellent job. I have a knife from the early years of the Annual Reproduction Series that was "Queen Steel" 440A. It takes a fine edge & holds it as well as their 420 HC.
Queen has always been on th forfront of the American cutlery business as far as new steel is concerned. But I hear alot of people complain about Schatt & Morgan with 420 SS. With Queen you have a wider choice of steel, at present or in recent past they have used 440A, 420HC, 1095, ATS-34 & D-2. That I can think of.
 
I sure don't think I can add any more than has been said. I carry a half whittler every day. It's really a terrific knife.
