I've been reorganizing some knifely stuff, and came across these three. Haven't seen them for a year or so; they were made for the Queen show, I think in 2003, but I can't remember how many were made. These have the 3 handle choices available, Imitation horn, white cell, and black micarta-like laminate, all with red plastic shields. Schatt & Morgan used plastic shields on some knives many years ago, but not necessarily on "Dollar Knives".
Made to recall the Dollar Knife Company, many of whose knives were made by Schatt & Morgan. As a commemorative, the knives kinda missed the mark for a number of reasons, but they are great little jacks, single bladed, snappy, and a hair shy of 3 1/2" long.
As far as actual Dollar Knives go, there was a little booklet put out by a very knowledgeable Dollar Knife collector, with an author of knife books among other things. Good info, but all I can say is, I wish Amos had written it, or one of the other talented yarn-spinners on BF, because it is a positive snore to read!
The knives are exciting though, so for you ogling pleasure, here they are:
