Description: Mastersmith Kevin Harvey is well known for his tremendous attention to detail -- only matched by his skill at design. Historically inspired bowies and fighters are a hallmark of his work. This large Persian Fighter is a dramatic example of his masterpieces. Regrettably, few of Harvey's knives make it to the US these days. I was extremely excited when I was able to bring this knife back with me from one of my visits to South Africa.
The drop point blade is hand forged ladder pattern damascus. Carbon steel damascus ensures excellent edge holding and chip resistance. A particularly deep etch makes the damascus easy to see - even from a distance. The blade is flat ground and razor sharp. Kevin's touchmark is on the ricasso.
The handle is hand contoured stabilized box elder burl. The guard and pommel are hand forged from Kevin's own basketweave damascus. The complex damascus nicely complements the swirling grain in the wood handle. We recommend using camellia oil to protect the damascus blade and wood handle.
Excellent work throughout!
