SCAGEL COPY ? FIXED BLADE HUNTER W/ A FOLDING BLADE IN THE HANDLE

I just bought this on Ebay. It turns out to be a Very Old Vintage Fixed Blade Hunting Knife with a Folding Blade in the Handle. The Fixed Blade is 5-3/8" long, and the Folding Blade is 2-3/8" long. The Scales are Elk Horn. The Scale next to the Folding Blade is Copper backed. The Silver Arrowheads on the Sheath and the knife's handle are securely riveted in place with Silver rivets. Everything on this knife is still "tight as new" and the Blades are still "shaving sharp".

The Sheath with this knife is Original and makes an excellent display companion, but the leather is too deteriorated and weakened to carry the knife safely. The Large Silver Arrowhead is in still in very good condition. There are no markings anywhere on the Blade that would identify the maker. The James Julia auction listing tells of a 1939 letter that Scagel sent Bo Randall challenging him to try to make such a knife. Perhaps this is the knife that Bo made.


An Original Scagel Knife like this sold in 2012 at the James Julia auction for over $28,000 (see below link)

Below are the highlights of the Ebay listing.

as always, comments are welcome

Cool knife, buckstix.
5 3/8" iis not far off my preference of 6" for gutting moose and elk.

Would be an annoyance with that second blade sticking in the palm of your hand as you worked!
Still, a very well made knife - love the elk horn scales!
Great work doing that.

The folder's center hump only extends only 1/16" above the surface of the handle and is barely felt in the palm of your hand when using the fixed blade.

That is an interesting knife Buckstix. A shame there is no known history on it.
