For me, if I’m talking comfort knife, it’s gotta have some size to it.

Great knife ::tu::

Since I can't insert photos, I made a video. Over the last couple of months, I've caught two garden knives and one jack. They all feel nice in the hand, the Rawson seems to have a buffalo horn scales, very nice to the touch, I'll have to look for their catalogues if they exist. At first I thought the blade was broken and resharpened, until I got it in my hands, it really is a small blade for grafting

CxIII, I am not sure I have found the exact maker, it is possible that the maker's marks can change over time, possibly it could be the same maker. ::shrug::

Well, here is some info I have found on the another similar Scagel type knife;

VTG Joseph Holbert Custom Handmade Scagel Style Knife Early Anvil H Stamp Rare. Custom & Handmade.

That is a listing for one that was on FleaBay....

::uc:: It has a price listed @: Price insights from FleaBay; $995*

* ::skeptic:: ... I don't know 'bout that..... ::shrug::

P.S. it looks like there is a Joseph Holbert Custom for sale here on AAPK as well... ::hmm::

VTG JOSEPH HOLBERT CUSTOM HANDMADE SCAGEL STYLE KNIFE W/ EARLY ANVIL H STAMP RARE


Joe Holbert is perhaps the finest maker of “Scagel” style blades. He maintained a shop in Bainbridge Ohio and passed away in 2015.


Vintage custom made hunting knife by the late Ohio Knife Maker Joe Holbert in we found and uncleaned condition. This knife has Holbert’s earl letter H inside the anvil. It includes a custom leather sheath that is likely not original to the blade. 5 7/8” blade, 10 1/8” overall. Brass handle, brass & composition spacers m, a pinned stag (or deerhorn) pommel. Everything is tight. Original edge, with a couple of light pitting/ manufacturing spots along the blade. See pictures for details!
