BEST SCAGEL AX THE AUTHOR HAS EVER SEEN. This author/owner considers this ax to be the most esthetically beautiful ax ever made by Scagel. It was made for Armand Durham, the same time Scagel made Armand’s fighter knife (4-45541), and both were presented to Armand as a “pair” in 1935. This ax is pictured on page 170 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie, right hand image. It is 14-1/2″ overall. It has the double Kris stamps with Scagel’s name stamp in between the two Kris stamps. Stacked red colored fiber and leather spacers and brass guard comprise the handle, along with a beautiful white tail deer Crown stag with a single brass rivet. The Scagel-made leather ax head sheath has the brass pinwheel snap and brass rivets. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: This ax is as close to mint as possible, as is the sheath. No other description would be appropriate. All Scagel axes are rare. This is the large variety camp ax, as compared to the small, more petite back-packing axes he made. 4-45557 JL37 (20,000-28,000)
