Just received my book a few days ago and it's terrific - a fine book all around that will stand, probably forever, as the definitive work on Bill Scagel. It's also a great example of how collectors can contribute to the larger knife world in major ways if they will just put it all down in a book before it's too late. Kudos to Jim Lucie for doing it and doing it right. Scagel Handmade achieves good balance between images and text - presenting the most complete possible record of Scagel's life and work. It is also a book with integrity. Jim scrupulously avoided stating or repeating something stated elsewhere about Scagel that he could verify with a reasonable degree of certainty. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen the book who might share their own reactions to it here.
Dr. Lucie will be at Batson Blade next week! and he will have some Scagel Knifes with him.
