Description: Doug Noren was welcomed as Mastersmith in 2004. 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, with the unique shape and appearance.
This camp axe is very rare to see from Noren. The style is very true to Scagel's design from the crown stag handle to the stacked leather spacers. Doug chose to follow the color themes used by Scagel, combining leather with stainless steel and fiber spacers. A central spacer is ancient woolly mammoth ivory. The resulting handle is both dramatic and extremely comfortable. The front of the bronze guard is beveled and fits perfectly to the carbon steel haft.
The axe head is hand forged carbon steel with a hand rubbed satin finish. The edge is convex ground to increase chip resistance and durability. The head is 3.6 inches from the back of the hammer to the cutting edge. The cutting edge itself is 3.1 inches. The axe is 14 inches long from the end of the crown to the top of the head, making it a perfect size for backpacking and hunting.
A hand tooled leather sheath made by Doug is included that can be worn on the belt.
Excellent work throughout!
