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 trailing point blade is forged to shape from Kevin's own two-bar composite twist damascus. Both the spine and cutting edge are fully sharpened. The Heavin Forge mark is shown on the left side ricasso.
The handle is South African red bushwillow (Combretum apiculatum). This presentation grade dark toned wood has an elegant, tightly curled figure. The handle is beautifully contoured for a secure, comfortable grip. Nickel silver fittings are hand fileworked. A frame of South African snake bean wood (Bobgunnia Madagascariensis) adds tremendous contrast.
Kevin built a particularly dramatic sheath. The wooden inner is wrapped with ostrich leather. A nickel silver tip and laced throat complete the sheath.
Excellent work throughout!
