Schaub 171-N – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Natural finish on the Schaub Martello knob going to change color over time?
Yes, and that's the intent. The Natural finish is an unlacquered living finish over solid Britannium, so it is left untreated and darkens into a patina with handling and age. If you want the hardware in a kitchen to stay the same tone across every door for years, an unlacquered living finish is the wrong choice; a lacquered or plated finish holds its color instead.
2) What is a round alternative to the Schaub 171-N Martello knob if the square profile does not suit the door style?
The Schaub 171-N Martello is a 1-1/2 inch square knob with a 1 inch projection in Britannium. If a round profile is wanted instead, the Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove in solid brass at 1-3/4 inch diameter, and the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission is a round cabinet knob. Both change the silhouette and the base material away from Britannium, so plan to change all knobs in the run rather than mixing.
3) I do not want a finish that patinas. What should I use instead of the Schaub 171-N?
The 171-N is supplied in a Natural unlacquered living finish over Britannium, which is intentionally left untreated so it darkens and patinas with handling. If a stable appearance is wanted across a kitchen, look at solid brass knobs instead, such as the Deltana KRB175 heavy-duty round knob or the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob. Both are brass-bodied knobs rather than living-finish Britannium.
4) How far does the Schaub Martello square knob stick out from the cabinet door?
Projection is 1 inch off the mounting surface, with a 1-1/2 inch square face. That's a full-hand grip rather than a fingertip knob, so it reads well on large doors and deep drawers, but measure your clearance if the cabinet sits next to a wall return, an appliance panel, or a door that swings past it.
5) What is Britannium and how does it compare to a solid brass cabinet knob?
Britannium is a solid cast pewter-family alloy, and Schaub uses it as the base material on the Martello knob. It casts with more surface texture and a softer gray tone than brass, which is why it suits rustic and farmhouse cabinetry. If you want a brass body instead, ZenSupply carries the Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove in solid brass at 1-3/4 inch diameter, and the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob.
6) Is a 1-1/2 inch square knob too big for a bathroom vanity or small drawers?
The Martello 171-N measures 1-1/2 inch square with a 1/2 inch base, so on narrow drawer fronts or a small vanity it can crowd the face and read heavy. On full-height kitchen doors and wide drawers it looks proportionate. For smaller fronts, a round knob such as the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission or the CK-19032 Whistler is a lighter profile.
7) What are the Emtek Schaub Collection cabinet knobs, and are they the same thing as this Schaub Martello knob?
Not the same part. The Emtek SELECT 8665, Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria Glass knobs are sold under Emtek's Schaub Collection and are listed as cabinet knob/pull products, so they're a separate design family from the Martello square knob. If you're matching existing Martello hardware, stay with the Martello part numbers; the Emtek Schaub Collection pieces are an alternative look, not a drop-in match.
8) Which of the comparable knobs will also work as a pull, and does the Schaub 171-N do that?
The Schaub 171-N Martello is built specifically as a cabinet knob for doors and drawers. The Emtek Select 8665, Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria Glass items in the Schaub Collection are listed as cabinet knob/pull, so they cover both roles. If a drawer run needs pulls rather than knobs, those are the ones to look at.
9) Will the Orca Whistler knob drop into the same holes as the Schaub 171-N Martello?
The Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler is a cabinet knob, so it mounts through a single bored hole the same way the Martello 171-N does. The difference is the fastener: the 171-N uses an M4 x 1 metric screw, while the Whistler is a separate product with its own supplied screw. Confirm the screw thread before reusing existing hardware, and expect a different face profile since the Martello is a 1-1/2 inch square.
10) For a glass-front cabinet, is the Schaub 171-N the right knob or is there a better match?
The 171-N Martello is a solid Britannium knob with a rustic square face, which reads as a heavy metal accent against glass. If a lighter, transparent look is preferred on a glass front, the Emtek Astoria Glass cabinet knob in the Schaub Collection uses a glass body instead. Both mount as cabinet knobs; the choice is purely the material and visual weight.
11) Can I match the Schaub Martello knob across a whole kitchen with pulls in the same style?
The 171-N belongs to Schaub's Martello collection, which is built as a coordinated rustic-style line so knobs and pulls share the same finish and design language across a project. For a remodeler specifying a whole kitchen, that means you can keep one collection on doors and drawers rather than mixing families.
12) Does the Schaub Martello knob come in finishes other than Natural?
The 171-N is the Natural (N) finish version, the unlacquered living finish that patinas. Other Martello knobs in the collection carry different finish codes, so if you need a fixed plated tone, order the Martello part number for that finish rather than the -N.
13) Is the Schaub Martello knob suitable for commercial cabinetry, like a hotel or office millwork job?
It's built as a cabinet knob for doors and drawers, and Schaub lists commercial cabinetry among its applications alongside kitchens, vanities, and custom furniture. The thing to weigh on a commercial job is the unlacquered living finish: high-touch openings will patina unevenly and at different rates, which is fine in a rustic hospitality space and a problem where uniform appearance is part of the spec.
