SCAGEL MADE FIGHTER MADE FOR A MARINE IN 1950.

SCAGEL MADE FIGHTER MADE FOR A MARINE IN 1950. Scagel-made fighter made for a marine in 1950. The marine served in the Korean War. Scagel fighter models are the most rare and most desirable of all of the Scagel styles he made. This is especially so with the brow tine stag, such as this one. The overall length is 12″ and the blade length is 6-3/4″. This piece is pictured on page 140 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie on the far right, and the other side of the knife is pictured again on page 141 on the far left. There is an additional picture on page 142. Stacked-leather handle with several red fiber, brass and aluminum spacers. Brow line stag butt has a steel lanyard ring, capped by pure silver plate over lanyard ring. The dagger is ground, and the blade is stamped with his Kris in the triangular area of the grind just forward of the guard. The stag is held in place with a single rivet. The brown leather riveted-and-sewn sheath is marked U.S.N. according to the original owner. He acquired this knife from Scagel at this shop in Fruitport, Michigan. The sheath is original to the knife-oval brass guard. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: The handle and stag are in excellent condition. The blade was cleaned by the owner of any rust or staining. There are 4 or 5 microscopic forging pits on one side of the blade, left in from Scagel’s hand-forging process. There are 2 very tiny chips on the blade’s edges – 1 is halfway down the length of the blade on one side and the other chip is 1/4″ from the tip on the other side of the blade. A very fine example of a Korean War vintage Scagel fighting knife of great rarity. 4-45567 JL19 (16,000-22,500)
