ONE OF THE FINEST SCAGEL CAMP KNIVES IN EXISTENCE. In my opinion, this large Scagel-made camp knife is esthetically one of the most beautiful knives ever created by Bill Scagel. It is pictured on page 134 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie, on the right side of the picture. It is 13-1/2″ overall and the blade length is 8″. It is a full 5/16” thick at the haft. The upswept blade is well-marked with Scagel’s name stamp and the Kris. A 2-1/4″ long brass guard and Scagel-style stacked handle, and 2-1/2″ long whitetail deer crotch stag pommel with two brass rivets. Accompanying this knife is the beautiful professionally made embossed leather sheath with white rawhide lacing made by Joseph Dieken of New York City, who was a leather sheath maker for Abercrombie & Fitch in New York City. This knife appears to never have been used. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: Near mint condition with all Scagel’s vertical grind lines evident. There are a few scattered, very fine scratches throughout the surface of the blade, mostly from storage and handling. There is a microscopic nick in the blade edge, 2-3/4″ from the tip. It is one of the finest camp knives in existence and rarely is a quality piece such as this ever offered for sale. 4-45548 JL28 (18,000-28,000)
