SCAGEL’S PERSONAL KNIFE, AN EXTREMELY RARE AND IMPORTANT SCAGEL KNIFE.

SCAGEL’S PERSONAL KNIFE, AN EXTREMELY RARE AND IMPORTANT SCAGEL KNIFE. This knife would rank as the most rare of all of Scagel’s knives, as it was his own personal knife and was always sheathed at his side. This piece, along with the unfinished signature blade pictured on page 162 in Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie (lot #16), comprise the only 2 currently known Scagel signature blades. This piece is pictured on page 139 of the book, as well as in the month of June in the calendar. It is a unique Scagel design and this author/owner has never seen another example of this design to surface in over 50 years of collecting and examining Scagel’s knives. The overall length is 12″ and the blade length is 7-1/4″. Pure silver guard and multiple red fiber and leather-stacked spacers. It has a 2″ piece of white tail deer stag with a pure silver end place, topping off the stag with one rivet through the stag. The right side of the blade is etched with Scagel’s signature over his traditional arrow and the left side of the blade bears his name stamp and Kris. Although this author/owner knows there was a sheath for this piece, having seen it many times, it was not found following Scagel’s death. (Please note receipt and metal stamp do not accompany this lot). PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection CONDITION: As expected, this piece has seen much use over many years. Structurally, it is in very fine and sold condition. The handle is close to perfect, in well-cared for condition, with about all of its varnish intact. The blade has moderate light pitting throughout the blade on both sides, along with multiple fine scratches. The author/owner did not acquire this piece until several years following Scagel’s death, and it appears that in the interim, some steel wool or something similar was used in an attempt to remove some rust or staining, resulting in the scratches on this blade. The most rare Scagel of all Scagels. 4-45565 JL17 (20,000-28,000)
