Hunting Knife expensive?

Hi Tim:

Fantastic prices for Scagel's work (real and forged) are pretty much a U.S. phenomenon. He was an icon of knife making here. The market is what the market is, and there is not a lot of sense to it sometimes.

I tend to agree, Tim.

Not everybody likes Jackson Pollock either, but look at what his work brings.

Scagel and Moran are icons.

You cannot assess iconic work realistically, or objectively; it becomes an emotional assessment.
