There is much online about one of America's pioneer and foremost knife makers, Bill Scagel, so I won't go into his remarkable story. Suffice to say his knives are revered amongst collectors and are highly sought after. He also had a profound influence on the careers of both Bo Randall and R.W. Loveless.
This knife is in extra fine condition exactly as I purchased it. It came out of a collection of Scagel's that was dispersed quite a number of years ago and included several that at the time made their way into the former collection of principle Scagel collector and historian Dr. Jim Lucie.
This is a large hunting or woods knife. The original sheath is heavy leather and it is beautifully detailed. The knife locking snap is 'UNITED CARR' which was the brand Scagel used. The sheath, handle and blade are in fine condition with absolutely no pitting or damage and the kris is clear. The blade is 5 5/16" long and 1 1/4" deep and the knife in total is 10 1/4". I have not in any way attempted to clean or touch up the knife or the sheath.
