Scagel pull EDC Case Trappers

[muskrat man]

Here are a couple trappers I built from spare parts, spey blades, and spare frames and springs. The black one is linen micarta and a little bit of vine filework w/ a muskrat blade profile, the other was an old 70's stainless one with a drop point profile; that had seen better days. prettiest jigged wood handles i've ever seen so I kept them.

Dang, I like those. I always like how the pull was opened up. Dremel tool?

[Darksev]

VERY impressive. I always wondered why I didn't see many other knives with a scagel pull. I like that look so much top notch!

[Forensic Jim]

Sweeeeeeet!

[Froggyedge]

Very nice! Both of them!

Scagel pull..?
AAPK is great! I learn something new all the time.

I've read about William Scagel and seen photos of his work, but I thought he made fixed blades almost exclusively...

slotted hole for pull popularized by bill scagel. here's is a repro of one of his designs with said pull.

Pretty knife!

I guess he started making folders in the later years of his career then..?

Be easy to do it on a CNC, seems doable on a Dremel. A CNC would sure be nice. Or a shopsmith, a drill, mill, and lathe combo sure would be nice - real nice!

Jonet143,

Thank you!
Link to an interesting article from Levine's Guide there.
You need much deeper pockets than mine to be collecting Scagel's original work, that's for sure!

Knowing MM my guess will be Drill and File.

Ken an Adam are dead on

Had so much fun doing those I decided to do another today. I call this one the ratbuster. Mainly like the black one posted above (which my dad staked claims on of course), only bolsterless with a halfstop this time. Since dad claimed the first one, I had to make myself another.

Drill and File-Holy Smokes! Now that's an exercise in patience. They look great, good work.

[muskrat man]

sorry, misread thought Ken said Dremel. I used a dremel and a file, not a drill

[Froggyedge]

Your father is a very lucky man!
