RARE AND DESIRABLE SCAGEL MADE FIXED BLADE HUNTER WITH A FOLDER BLADE IN THE HANDLE Vl&A MARKED.

RARE AND DESIRABLE SCAGEL MADE FIXED BLADE HUNTER WITH A FOLDER BLADE IN THE HANDLE Vl&A MARKED. This is one of the most scarce and most difficult Scagel knives to obtain. Scagel made only 12 of these, and Scagel’s own photo taken by him with his Kodak folding camera depicts these 12 knives on page 98 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie. This knife is the one pictured to the far right of Scagel’s photo. The full page photo of this knife is pictured on page 103 of the book, and is also the cover picture on the 1996 Calendar as well as the month of September. The overall length is 10-1/2″, with a fixed blade length of 5-1/4″, and the folder blade of 2-3/4″ length. Elk slabbed handle scales with brass rivets. Scagel’s silver arrow is affixed to the handle. Concerning this style knife, the reader is directed to the letter Scagel wrote to Bo Randall on September 21, 1939, in which Scagel admonishes Bo as to how difficult it is to make this style knife and that he (Bo) should “try to make one”. This letter is reproduced on page 221 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie. This author/owner has over the years been privileged to see 9 of the 12 knives made, and this one is the finest condition of them all. There is no sheath for this knife. Super rare knife! PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: Used very little and near mint. There are a few light superficial scratches on the fixed blade. The handle and small folder blade are mint. Absolute centerpiece for any Scagel collection. 4-45566 JL38 (20,000-30,000)
