UNIQUE SCAGEL MADE HUNTER-FISH KNIFE. Unique Scagel-made hunter-fish knife, pictured on page 113 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie. The author/owner has always said that Scagel was the “master of the curve” and nothing exemplifies that more than this knife, with its sow-bellow curve, upswept blade, graceful fish-tail stacked and stag handle with 2 brass rivets. The overall length is 11″, with the blade 4-5/8″. The blade is well marked with “Scagel Handmade” with his Kris stamp. Brass guard. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: The handle is in perfect condition. The blade has been cleaned, showing some very minimal scratches and pitting. The Scagel-made sheath, which is original to the knife, is in very poor condition. It appears to have been exposed to water or dampness over a long period of time, causing cracks and deterioration to the leather. It has the typical Scagel pin wheel snap on the retaining strap. A fine example of an aesthetically beautiful and desirable Scagel hunter. 4-45563 JL13 (8,500-12,500)
