Many of you are probably not familiar with 1960's knife maker Merle Seguine, from Juneau, Alaska. His hand made knives were some of the most sought after, not only as collectors, but as a proven user. He was one of the first custom makers that had a gut hook as well. Over the past 60 years, I have had a couple of his fine knives in my collection, and recently sent a Merle Seguine user to an Alaska trapper friend of mine. He said that some his biggest arguments that he and his wife have, is over who get the Seguine knife.

I say all this to let you all know that I found a mint 1960's Merle Seguine listed on the latest Nordic web list. Not only the one I purchased, but they have 4 more on their list. If you want to purchase a true early custom knife maker at a very reasonable price, I highly recommend you check out Nordic's list by knife maker Merle Seguine, as a collector piece or as a great user.
