Ray Kirk: Scagel

Many talents and a big heart.

We keep this up he might end up with a big head! (But I sincerely doubt it.) ;)
 
cool! I have to honestly say that the larger one is just too big for me. the small one is perfect:thumbup::thumbup:

I'll definitely make sure I introduce myself also. I'm 5 7 240 and bright red hair. can't miss me. Kind of like a portly ronald mcdonald....:)

I really love ray's work and he's a fantastic guy!

Hey Brett, that is a little beauty ! I looked at the small ones for a long time but decided to go with the larger one, but I may just have to get the small one too.

I'm just north of Tulsa but I will be sure to find you and introduce myself while we're there :thumbup:

So yours is a small model, Brett? I did not ever know Ray made two sizes. Better run add one of those to my wish list. I like it a lot.

howdy! he just started making the small size.

Funny that after I bought the one i did, ray pulled an exact duplilcate from his pocket and said he's been carrying it for a while.

Anyway, I love the smaller size and ray has 6 or 7 in stock.

grab em now!

I know I am pushing things a bit, but this one gets about as traditional as it gets. (and since we are on a Ray thread) and there is a little history involved and it is my "other area of knife collecting" since you never know when ya might have to dag someone.) ;)


This is Ray's quillion dagger that he made for his M.S. test.

I asked Ray if I could commission it in 2000 (before he got his J.S. stamp) and he went for his M.S. in 2005. I have brother Blues to thank for introducing us.

As you can see, he is a man of many talents.

Nope, not pushing things a bit, this is a Ray Kirk thread and that is the finest example I have seen of a Ray Kirk knife :thumbup: WOW !!!

I grabbed:D
Ironwood and damascus on the way. Ray called it an Oosti (baby) folder. (I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that Oosti is a Cherokee word for baby.)

oh man, I handled that one you bought. It's beautiful. In the end, i couldn't pass up the san mai!

let us know how you like it.

The word "Oosti" does mean "baby" in Cherokee. Since I have altered the original folder and retained what I thought were the better points of construction, it needed another name beside "Small Scagel".
I would like to thank all my friends for the kind words and always look forward to meeting you again. Good friends that I have made through my association with making knives, are some of the best friends in the world.
I will be in Grapevine, Tx this coming week end to visit some of these friends.

ray,

You're a top notch guy and I credit you with getting me into custom knives and for showing me how cool it is to make your own.

Good luck in grapevine!

See you at the shop tour,

Brett
 
Hi Ray, good luck in Grapevine !



DADGUMIT Thomason, send those here so I can get a better look :D
Very nice !
 
My Oosti folder found it's way to the mail box today. Ladder damascus and ironwood. About 3 3/8 closed. It really is a great little knife. I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks 4ever3 and bdws1975 for this thread making me aware of these puppies. Oh yeah, thank you to Ray also.:D

And now another episode of I Love Oosti starring Thomason.

Raker...You got some 'splainin' to do!

:p

Nice one, Rob. :thumbup:
 
I've got one of Ray's Integral Medicine blades and LOVE it. I have been eyeing these folding scagels of his for a long time. Just have never pulled the trigger.

If you're reading this one Ray and you have any of those folders available drop me a PM or email and lets discuss... I may be able to work out the cash details. :)
