Description: Visiting with Mastersmiths Kevin and Heather Harvey is always a highlight of my trips to South Africa. Kevin and Heather 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.
This integral chef's knife is multipurpose and very handy. It is a perfect choice for chopping, slicing, and dicing - with just enough height for finger clearance, it is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
Mastersmith Kevin Harvey began this elegant chef's knife by forging his own random chaos pattern damascus. By forging the damascus from carbon steels, Mastersmith Harvey ensures a keen, long lasting edge. The blade is flat ground and razor sharp.
Showing his mastery in the forge, Kevin forged the entire knife from a single billet of damascus. Creating a fully integral knife in a custom environment is tremendously difficult. A distal taper to the blade provides optimal balance. Because the blade is forged from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to protect the knife from rust.
Exceptional work throughout!
