Description: Doug Noren was welcomed as Mastersmith at the 2004 Blade Show. His work is exceptional, drawing heavily on the work of the late William Scagel. More so than nearly any other maker, William Scagel's knives have captured the imagination of American knife collectors and makers, with the unique shape and appearance.
This hunting knife is very true to Scagel's designs from the sway back blade to the crown stag handle with stacked spacers. The blade was forged to shape from Doug's own Damascus, incorporating 1084 and 15N20 carbon steels along with nickel. A differential heat treatment line travel along the blade, showing that the spine is extremely hard and has a softer, supportive spine. The result is tremendous edge holding with a strong blade.
Doug has chosen to follow the color themes used by Scagel, combining leather with brass and nickel silver along with red and black fiber spacers. The front of the brass guard has been beveled and fits perfectly to the hand forged Damascus blade. The handle is finished off with a stag crown. The fit and finish is exceptional.
