No idea why they said 4.7", that was NOT CORRECT, sorry  |
PiterM,
Thank you VERY much for that information and for taking the time to measure.
It really is very much appreciated.
When I read the article and it said the shorter blade was only 4.7", I was thinking, "Dang, that's really a lot shorter than what I want....but 7" is a little bigger than I wanted too".
As I said earlier, the proportions of your H-Class look to be perfect to me. To be honest, I've always had a real passion for steel work, be it knives, tools, tube structure, welding, machining, etc....just metal in general. Just been fascinated by it. I have a lot of knives I've collected over the years and I'm usually not much of a 'tanto' blade guy, but this one just looks perfect. I'll likely never use it to its fullest potential....there's just something about a well made knife with the proper heft to it, good balance and a real quality steel that will hold an edge.
I contacted Mr. Harsey via email on his website on Monday. I'm assuming he's very busy and doesn't have a lot of free time to answer those emails about ordering his knives.
Do you mind taking a guess as to how long it generally takes to get one of Mr. Harsey's custom knives once you place the order?
I don't recall seeing a phone number to contact him on his site (I'll check in a moment)....is it preferable to contact that way instead of by email? I plan to wait until early next week before contacting him again.
Again, thank you SOOO much for taking the time to measure and for posting up the information.
Take care,
Sean
