CHUCK STAPEL HANDMADE FIXED BLADE KNIFE IVORY SCRIMSHAW SECTION

Chuck Stapel (Deceased)

California knifemaker Chuck Stapel made knives for many years. He was known as The knifemaker of the stars I guess because he lived in Hollywood and made knives for some of the movie stars.

Im selling this fixed blade knife as used as Im not the original owner and I purchase it without a sheath. This fixed blade knife is in excellent condition.

What sets this knife off is the center section of the handle. It is a piece of ivory. Scrimshawed. B 80 & 38 are etched on the schrim. The photo looks like a muscrat, not sure.

Black micarta bolster and butt cap each held on with 2 pins. Full tapered tang.

Mirror polish blade. Stapel in script etched on one side. It looks buffed over.

The knife doesnt apperar to have ever been used.

8 1/8″ OAL, 3.75″ Blade, 3/16″ Thick

I had a custom brown leather belt sheath made for the knife.
