Episode 108: Dr. Jim Lucie

Those of you familiar with the Scagel story (and our podcast on the topic) will also be familiar with the book Scagel Handmade, written by Dr. James Lucie.  Dr. Lucie was not only the worlds foremost collector and expert on Scagel knives, but a truly interesting person and knifemaker in his own right.   His daughter Stephanie Lucie joins us to help tell her father’s story and we walk together through her book “Dr. Jim Lucie: A Bladesmith’s Life & Legacy.”  We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!”

It’s that time of year – Halloween is nearly here!  This year we put together a picks episode, with some “treats” aka affordable knives that you’d be happy to give out to a friend and a few “tricks” as well.  Our browser histories will never be the same, and after this one, neither will yours.
