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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis rare rare hatchet is in 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a fine coating of surface rust on the metal that I don't believe will reveal any pitting on the blade. The handle is in fine condition with no damage and the kris is clear. The cutting edge is 2 5\/8\" long and the total length of the hatchet is 12 1\/4\" with the handle being 5 3\/4\". I have not in any way attempted to clean or touch up this incredible piece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI will offer to professionally clean the metal for the new buyer if so desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease contact me directly if you need any more detailed photos and\/or to discuss shipping options. 647-831-8137\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e**All edge tools may need to be sharpened\/honed before use**\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ted Dawson Antique Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53396368064817,"sku":"8592","price":7650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0302\/2618\/6377\/files\/DSC09378_65dd1765-af2c-4acb-9b51-edb2cbad5f34.jpg?v=1774903485","url":"https:\/\/teddawsonantiquetools.com\/products\/rare-william-bill-scagel-hunter-knife-with-original-scagel-sheath-copy","provider":"Ted Dawson Antique Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
