Description: Mastersmiths Kevin and Heather Harvey teach bladesmithing courses, with students travelling from all over the world to learn their 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.
The 5-1/2 inch blade was forged to shape from 5160 carbon steel, ensuring a keen, long lasting edge. It features an antiqued, hand rubbed satin finish. The Heavin Forge mark is on the left side of the blade.
The handle is stabilized skunkbush burl (Premna mooiensis). This durable wood has a beautiful figure. The gently rounded handle fills your hand nicely and provides a comfortable grip. Both the blade and tang are distal tapered, ensuring a perfect balance. The handle is finished with white fiber liners that contrast elegantly against the wood scales.
The knife is accompanied by a hand stitched, tooled cowhide sheath.
