Treeman Scagel kinfe on eBay $10k plus
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=110183630650

Apparently this woman bought the knife at a garage sale and the seller was asking $15, so she offered $5 and put it on eBay with a starting bid of $14.99.

Must be handmade, so maybe it is appropriate to post here. :shrug:

Interesting read the messages at the bottom. I always get a little suspicious reading messages like these, but looks like someone paid a very high price. Or I hope they paid it!

Scagel is considered the father of modern knife making.

Any curved piece of rust will fetch several K's these days if it has "Assadollah" written on it. Even in English :rolleyes:

A guy I know has interviewed the seller and the buyer and has written an article for "Blade" magazine. No Issue date yet, but his editor loves the piece!
