I just picked up a stag jumbo trapper by Moore Maker, and realized I now have three stag hunting knives with 1095 steel blades, all made by Queen even though the brand names are all different. I thought showing them all together would make for an interesting comparison.

Oh, who am I kidding -- I really just wanted to show off my knives. :D

The pictured knives are 1) a Queen Mountain Man Lockback, 2) a Northwoods Scagel 3rd edition folder, and 3) the Moore Maker jumbo trapper.

Me. . . .me. . . .me. . . . . :D


Ohhhh. . . .so nice ! I'm diggin' that Mountain Man (the Scagel folder is a given) ! :D
 
Me too, me too! I really like Moore Maker's Queen-made knives, although I'm not wild about that liner lock design. I had no idea that the Nothwoods Scagel folders were also made by Queen, though. I have the first one, and the fit and finish are just amazing.

Waynorth, I love that Scagal. Its a much closer design to the original that Wiliam Wales carried. What make is that?

The jumbo trapper feels very good in the hand, and the exposed part of the liner actually serves as a guard.

However, because that portion is explosed, you get visible rub marks after just a few openings. Basically to keep one in mint condition you'd have to never open it. Not ideal, but not enough to make me mind too much.

Thanks for the comments you guys. Waynorth, that's one of the nicest Scagels of any version I've seen. I'm so glad you EDC it -- I'm sure it's a great pleasure to carry and use.
 
Jacknife, it's one of the Northwoods repros, made by Queen, admittedly carefully selected from 20 or so knives, at the Queen show last year! I have about a dozen of those Scagels,
including some prototypes! I will show them off as soon as I get some scans ready. They are such a nice knife, even at the price! Customs are 3-4 times as much, but these are quite nicely made!
 
Buy 2 knives, and call me in the morning!
 
Here are those (mostly) stag Scagels, including a couple of prototypes. A dealer was selling them at the 2005 Queen show. Dave Shirley produced them through Queen, modelling them as closely as possible to actual Scagels that he owned, at one time and another. He bought the rights to the Scagel name, so these are authorized, whatever that means.
The batches were between 100 and 200 knives each if I understand correctly. The smaller wood handled 2-blade, and the small stag 1-blade were made as an experiment, and 4-6 of each were made. I had a little money at the time (long gone) and thought I could enjoy holding these for a few years. I carry a larger 1-blade often, seen in a previous post. 1095 and Stag!! Enjoy!!

No, Gig, the smaller blades have the single kris. I guess I should have added more explanation; The wood handled one, and the smaller single blade are the protos. I put the others in the scan for comparison, size etc. I put the large single blade next to the small proto so you can see the difference in the length. It's too bad they didn't make the small one in a single blade, as it makes a nice pocketable knife. Sorry for the confusion! Charlie
 
So. . . . . .let me get this straight. . . . :p :D



Thanks for the clarification. . . . .and I'm still drooling. :thumbup:
