Description: Mastersmith Kevin Harvey is well known for his tremendous attention to detail -- only matched by his skill at design. He creates 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. When you buy a Harvey knife, you are getting an elegant knife that is designed to be used, yet it could easily be the pinnacle of most knife collections.
The blade of this swayback hunter is hand forged O1 carbon steel with a hand rubbed satin finish. This resilient steel will hold an exceptional edge while having good strength for heavier duty tasks. The spine is meticulously rounded for comfort. Kevin's maker mark is on the left side of the blade.
The blade moves seamlessly into an integral bolster. This technique, which results in superior strength takes a particularly talented bladesmith in a custom setting.
The handle is a column of stag, secured to the tang using hand domed bronze pins. A ferrule and end cap are antiqued copper. The end cap is hand engraved by Mastersmith Harvey in floral scroll. The handle feels exceptional and is perfectly balanced.
To keep the knife close at hand, a Scandinavian style cowhide sheath is included. The cowhide is wrapped around a beech wood inner. The belt loop swivels on a ring which allows the sheath to move out of the way when sitting down.
Exceptional work throughout!
