Description: Mastersmith Kevin Harvey is well known for his tremendous attention to detail -- only matched by his skill at design. He is known around the world 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. He uses the Heavin Forge mark on his knives when he creates a knife while demonstrating for his classes. This is one such knife.
The drop point blade is forged to shape from Kevin's own multi-bar damascus. The spine is Kevin's raindrops pattern. The forge welded edge bar is his ghost twist pattern. The combination is particularly dramatic. The Heavin Forge mark is shown on the left side of the ricasso. The spine is nicely rounded for comfort.
The handle is South African rooibos wood (Combretum apiculatum). This presentation grade dark toned wood has an elegant curled figure. The handle is nicely contoured for a secure, comfortable grip. A brass bolster completes the handle. Fiber spacers assist the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes.
To keep the knife close at hand, a custom tooled leather sheath is included.
Excellent work throughout!
