BEAUTIFUL AND EXTREMELY RARE IVORY-SLABBED SCAGEL CAMP KNIFE.

BEAUTIFUL AND EXTREMELY RARE IVORY-SLABBED SCAGEL CAMP KNIFE. A beautiful and extremely rare ivory-slabbed Scagel camp knife. Family records from the previous owner show this to most likely be the last large and significantly important knife Bill Scagel made. The previous owner’s father ordered and purchased this from Bill Scagel in 1962. Bill died in 1963, just a month after his 88th birthday. During the last two years of his life, the tell-tale signs of early Parkinson’s were present and the effects of this begin to show in the overall crafting of his work. Ivory-handled camp knives are exceedingly rare, this author/owner having ever seen only one other in 50 years of studying Scagel’s work. This has a massive blade with a graceful slight clip. The overall length is 13″, the blade length is 8″. This knife is pictured on page 134 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie, on the left side of page. Pure silver guard and pure silver bird’s beak- style pommel, which is pinned to the end of the tang with two pins. The blade is stamped with Scagel’s name stamp and the Scagel Kris. There is no sheath. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: This is a massive knife and various grind lines are present. The large ivory slabs are in fine condition with no checks or cracks or splits. The knife has seen no use and has never been sharpened. There are many small dots of diffusion throughout the blade surface, which are age related. Overall fine condition and a desirable and very rare piece. 4-45542 JL22 (16,000-22,000)
