Description: Mastersmith Kevin Harvey is well known for his tremendous attention to detail -- only matched by his skill at design. He is well known for creating extremely high quality hunting knives at a price that would be hard to find anywhere in the United States. Kevin and Heather Harvey are one of only a few husband and wife Mastersmith teams in the world and have been extremely influential through the knifemaking school they founded called Heavin Forge. Mastersmith Kevin Harvey teaches bladesmithing courses, with students travelling from all over the world to learn his techniques. Over the last few years, Kevin's work has become increasingly hard to come in the United States.
The drop point blade is hand forged from Kevin's own Sunbeam on W's damascus. By combining carbon steels, Kevin ensures a keen, long lasting edge. A deep etch gives the blade a particularly dramatic presentation. The spine of the blade has been fully domed and polished, completely hiding the damascus pattern. Kevin's mark is shown on the left side of the blade.
The handle is formed from stabilized white pear (Apodytes dimidiata) seperated by a central stabilized bone spacer. The handle is contoured to swell at the center to fill out the hand nicely and narrows at the front and back of the handle to provide excellent grip. Thin black and white fiber spacers assist the handle adjust to humidity and temperature changes. The handle is finished with a 303 stainless steel front and rear guard.
A brown leather sheath made by Kevin is included. The core of this traditional Scandinavian style sheath is formed from beechwood. A "swinger" style belt loop allows the sheath to move out of the way when sitting down.
Exceptional work throughout from a true master of the craft!
