OT: Wow!

'Wow' is right. Think of the Berk Specials and YCS's they could get for $5K. Enough left over for a really good bandsaw.
 
Who is this Scagel guy? I remember the Cherokee Rose is patterned after the Scagel Bowie.

If I do a search I'll probably find a bunch of commercial sites selling stuff.

The last few searches I did were for Nessmuk and some hunter guy. I think I found Nessmuk underwear and Suzy Capstick. :rolleyes:

I'll search now...
 
Scagel, William
In the 1960s and 1970s, Bill Scagel was virtually unknown to most of America?s growing leigons of knife collectors. But Scagel has become a household word to knife collectors today. He was the first truly great knifemaker of the 20th century. It was a Scagel knife that inspired Randall to begin his knifemaking career and it was a handful of Scagel knives in the Randall Musuem that led collectors to begin searching out knives by this great pioneer. Most of Scagel?s production is still out there in old trunks and gun cases, as "Granddad?s old hunting knife".

In his book, For Knife Lovers Only, Harry McEvoy said "During his 90 years, Bill Scagel produced more real treasures in cutlery than most other knife crafters, before or since. His hunting knives enjoyed such a fabulous reputation that hunters literally beat a path to his door over a period of some 50 years to purchase,... those beautiful, functional, handcrafted Scagel blades."

Guess you could say that there are blades better than those made by Masamune, but than again...
 
Did you already know that or did you do a search for that?

All I had to go on was Scagel.
 
That's it? :eek:

Maybe I should be less lazy and look at a few more sites.

You gots some skillz. :)
 
Even considering that this is not a Bowie I can see the family resemblance to the Rose! Well done Yvsa! Beautiful lines...
