LOT OF TWO KITCHEN CUTLERY PIECES. These are pictured on the bottom of page 162 in Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie. Lot 1) is a very large carving-butcher-style knife that Scagel forged along the curving, beautiful lines of a Searle’s-style Bowie knife. This is the only one of this style the author has ever seen. The overall length is 14-1/4″ with a blade length of 9-1/2″. A very substantial and well-made piece, bearing the small variety W. Scagel Handmade stamp and the underlined USA stamp. The handle is a substantial 4-3/4″ piece of white tail deer stag with a single rivet through the tang. Lot 2) is a little skinner-type knife pictured below the large piece on page 162. What is unique about this piece is that it has all 3 Scagel marks; the name stamp, Kris and the USA stamp. Very few knives have all 3 stampings. Overall length of 6-1/4″ and a blade length of 2-1/2″. It has pure silver ferrule and a fine tine end of a white tail deer rack. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: Lot 1)The knife is in generally fine condition with no chips, checks or cracks The blade is sharp, showing multiple moderate grit lines from repeated sharpenings over the years. There is a minimal amount of very light pitting on areas of the blade. Overall, a very desirable piece of Scagel commercial cutlery. Lot 2) It is extraordinarily fine, with no cracks or checks in the handle. 4-46228 JL18 (3,000-4,500)
