Kind of Scagel-looking

[Jason Fry]

I got a nice Sambar taper at our knife club Christmas exchange, but it was too short. What do you do with short stag? Make a Scagel, of course.

This knife is 1080 carbon steel, mill scale on the flats, 600 grit satin finish on the bevels. In true Scagel style, the guard and butt cap are brass, with fiber, leather, and brass spacers. This knife is held together with a threaded rod and nut under the butt plate, and the butt is pinned on with four pins. Good luck figuring out where the pins are. This is as close to as flawless of a guard fit as I've ever done. OAL is 10" with a 5 1/4 blade.
