EXCEEDINGLY RARE, SCAGEL MADE, IVORY HANDLED VL&A MARKED FIGHTER. Exceedingly rare, Scagel-made, Ivory-handled VL&A-marked fighter. This Ivory-handled Scagel fighter may well be one of a kind as this author/owner has never seen another one. The overall length is 13-1/4″ and the blade length is 8-1/4″. It is stamped with Scagel’s name stamp, the Kris and the VL&A stamp in the oval cartouche. One side of the ivory slab is engraved with “Gerald Wayne Moody” from “Mother and Dad.” The knife is unused and in near-mint condition, as is the sheath with a Marble’s snap on it. The sheath is original to the knife. VL&A also merchandised Marble’s knives and frequently they would put a Scagel knife in a Marble’s sheath and vice-versa. This piece is pictured on page 140 of the book, on the left hand image sheath pictured on page 62 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie, in the center photo. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: Near-mint condition having Scagel’s grind lines, which are very prominent. It has a few minimal stone scuffs along the cutting edges, and a few forging pits left in by Scagel. A beautiful rare Scagel Ivory-handled fighter model. 4-45552 JL32 (20,000-30,000)
