I've been on the hunt for one of these Scagel #1's for quite some time. I recently read where Charlie sold a NIB model to another one of our members (I can't seem to find that thread currently, so my apologies). I was happy another enthusiast got to find one, but I'll admit that a wee bit of jealousy may have been present.

Fast forward a couple weeks to the GEC Rendezvous. I was VERY fortunate to be able to spend some time visiting with Charlie, whose enthusiasm for these wonderful traditional knives is absolutely contagious. After I finished snatching Charlows off his table and hurling money at him, we got a chance to sit and talk about our respective collections for a bit. I casually mentioned that I'd be very interested if he ever came across another one of these Scagels. Wait, what's that? You have one that was a user for you? You don't say...

To make a long story short, a little knife swapping took place, and I wound up trading in to this, sight unseen. A week and a half later, this beauty showed up in my mailbox. Wow. I just can't stop handling this one. I've always been a sucker for stag, and in my opinion, the scales on this one are just perfect.

So thank you again, Charlie, for allowing me to check another knife off my dream list. I'm glad you were happy with our trade deal, and I'm THRILLED with the Scagel!
 
That's awesome. Charlie is the best.

That's a beautiful example you have there. The stag is first rate.

Pretty thick blades on those suckers aren't they?

I was the lucky one who managed to convince Charlie to sell me his unused one:D Very happy to hear that you were able to score this from him, Charlie is the best! Congrats on a beautiful blade bro:thumbup:
 
Beautiful knife. Great score. As if those of us that couldn't make the rendezvous weren't jealous enough already, we now find out that knives like this were exchanging hands as well as all of the great GECs. :( Seriously though, I'm glad you got such a beautiful knife especially if it's one you've been looking for for a while.
 
Great-looking knife Dan, so glad you were able to get it thanks to Mr Charlie. What a great guy, it must have been fantastic hanging out together at the GEC do, and now you have something that will always get the memories flowing. Great stuff fellers :thumbup:
 
That's a beauty! I kick myself every time I see one posted. It's one of the knife opportunities I really missed the boat on. Congrats on the acquisition.
 
Thanks everyone!

Good deal! Would you mind posting some pictures of yours so we can compare them?
 
That's Boss Stag on board that one! A lifetime of satisfaction, Waynorth actually owns a treasury of knives:D:D
 
Congratulations on the outstanding Scaglel. I am a good bit jealous. Great job on hooking up a fellow knife Nutt with a bucket list knife Charlie.

That is one of the quintessential traditional knives. Congrats on finding your joy and its super nice that Charlie made it happen. Tremendous
 
I carried that Scagel for quite a while, but hardly used it.
It has a nice hefty feel - when it's in your pocket you feel Equipped!!
It was just time for someone else to pick up the torch!!
Glad you like it Dan!!
I won't forget that one!!
