Scagel fish tail hunter

[R APPLEBY]

Hello all, My wonderful wife recently bought me the Scagel hand made book by Dr James Lucie(priceless). Shortly after I was digging through my box of parts and pieces and found this split tine antler tip. No question on what I was going to do with that. The forge was already heating up so hey, perfect timing. With out further blah, blah, blah. Here you are.



Specs are;

Blade; 3 1/2 inch hand forged, mirror polished, convexed ground 1095.

Handle; Stacked leather, nickel, brass, black and brick fiber spacers and white tail antler tine tip.

Guard; Brass.

OAL; 9 1/2 inches.

Sheath; 4/5 oz tooled Heiser style.

Thanks for looking

Great job on knife and sheath, lots of inspiration in that book. I've had it open to one of the camp knives for several days now. I should add, I'm trying to get up the nerve to try the one on pg. 138 but i've never done a knife that big, heat treating in the forge is my big fear.

Your knife gives me motivation, thanks for posting.

Just beautiful! What a fine tribute. Loving the stacked handle and even the early sheath rivets.

Every time you post a fixed knife, it's a different genre and so very well made.

No one on this forum has your versatility.

Looking forward to folders.
