This Scagel style hunter has a 5" blade made of 1095. The handle is made of leather and whitetail antler, with a guard and spacers of nickel silver. The dang thing was sharp enough to lay open my thumb to the tune of 6 stitches and $150.00 co pay. Drop by table 19M at the Blade Show and I'll show you the knife and the stitches :eek:

Dont you know forum rules? Post a pic of the injury along with the knife. Shouldnt that be in a sticky somewhere?
 
I must have missed that rule, but that would not have been the first rule I've missed. I'll try to post a picture tomorrow. I guess that I've been lucky for four or five years and was about due for something like this. Timing could have been a little better though with the Blade Show and all. I knew that Charlie was concerned when he asked if I had wiped off the blade. He said that he was really going to be hacked if he had to re polish that blade when we got back from the hospital.

We usually do keep some Band-Aids in our show bag. I had to ask a guy last year if he wanted one and when he refused, I told him to take a step back. He had cut himself somewhere else and was bleeding on our stuff.
 
That's a fantastic looking knife! Consider the injury to be advertising, did you get a couple of orders when you explained how you got cut so badly???

Looking forward to seeing this one in Atlanta.
 
Charlie and I will be at table 19M, the knife will be there too. We will be looking for you. I should have carried the knife with me when I went to the hospital. I didn't have an extra hand though my good one being used to apply pressure and all. I did do something similar with a knife we donated to the local Chamber of Commerce. Took in the donated knife and sold three to the ladies that worked there. Seems all their husbands hunt and they needed Christmas presents for them.
