Seeking Bill Bagwell ( legendary bladesmith) Helle Belle knife engraved by the late great Mr. E.C. Prudhomme ( The "S" shaped guard with forward curve quillion is engraved along with the butt cap. The owner's name was carved in such . They were initially delivered in a striking display presentation case. The blade length should be 10-1/2" and bears a large "B" marking ( for Bagwell) on it only as a form of identifying such knives since this is the way Bagwell stamped those knives back then (late 60's-early 70's). Also any Bagwell knives bearing "Bagwell Vivian.LA" with a hammer in the center in an oval-shaped logo. Bagwell Streetwalker's Companion has been known to have been engraved by E.C. Prudhomme as well. It is a small Arkansas-toothpick double edged knife (dagger type-Google an Arkansas Toothpick to see what such knife looks like). These knives were offered with a stag handle, walrus tusk and a rosewood/ebony handle. If anyone possesses such Bill Bagwell knives, I'll be grateful if you can contact me, along with Bagwell's knife catalogs. The first Bagwell fold-out catalog shows the Helle Belle, Widow Maker and the Streetwalker's Companion! Thank you so much for reading this thread.
