Description: Mastersmith Kevin Harvey teaches bladesmithing courses, with students travelling from all over the world to learn his techniques. Kevin uses the Heavin Forge mark on his knives when he creates a knife while demonstrating for his classes.
This is one such knife. This Rhino Bush Knife is the perfect outdoor companion. From chopping firewood and clearing brush for making trails to general purpose tasks around the camp site, this knife has you covered!
The large 9-1/2 inch recurve blade is forged from Random Chaos pattern damascus forged from O1 and K600 carbon steels. The blade is convex ground and razor sharp. A fuller runs along the top of the blade to reduce weight. The spine is nicely rounded for comfort. The Heavin Forge mark can be seen on the left side of the blade.
The handle is made from dramatic curly maple secured to the hidden tang using a large brass pin. There is a slight check in the wood which was fully sealed for strength and durability. The brass guard will prevent your hand from sliding over the blade during heavy duty tasks. A paracord lanyard is included at the back of the handle to provide extra retention. The handle is extremely comfortable and will hold up well in an outdoor environment.
To keep the knife close at hand, a brown leather sheath with paracord is included. The sheath also includes basketweave tooling and carved rhino at the center.
Excellent work throughout!
