Behold. A Scagel.

the first pic or so is the original, worth, what? today...85 thou? The attention is now to other blade forged rough, and then the finished product. Spacer arrangement changed radically to preclude at some future point, the knife being remarked and antiqued and passed off as an authentic knife. A lifetime ambition here, folks. A Scagel I can use.

forgot to add thickness shot

Fuzzy, but hard to focus with a cell while bent over and shaking and phone in one hand, knives in other. Does not show well, but more than twice the 3/16ths" W49 thickness, while live weight of knife only 2.5ozs more than the Western.

Wow! Makes me wish I'd bought that Scagel 30+ years ago

as it would probably have earned more than a similar investment in gold.

showing some realized prices from 6yrs back, just a thought. If you are like me, then 30yrs ago or more, that Scagel likely would have been used, and not worth near as much money.

to take something mint, and worth $45,000 or $80,000, and reduce it to a $5000 user, or even far less. Much less a hit to buy pre-used, or have a repro made, and lose "only" a grand.
