New Harsey Custom Blade!
Folks:
In conjunction with a special occasion, I received a special gift from my better half, courtesy of Mr. Harsey, who took what I asked him for, and rendered it in real S30-V steel in all of its glory.
We have recently been talking here about small, concealable knives. This is the other end of the spectrum, when you need a knife capable of chopping wood for a fire, saplings for shelter construction, digging, prying, and if need be, defending oneself from unwanted attention, human, or otherwise.
It is big, but lighter than you would expect, quick, point heavy, and sharp as I have ever seen for a knife this size. The sheath is handmade with every hole and stitch made by Bill himself, and fits like a glove. You are indeed a talented artist, Sir!
I see this as the kind of knife you would strap on when you are headed out to the woods and you have to survive with what you are carrying and what you find for an extended period, like Lewis and Clark, for example.
It is an amalgamation of a kukri, Bowie, chopper, and fighter. I hope you find it as beautiful to look at as I do.
These are preliminary shots done a few hours after I got it, better ones will follow. First pic is sheathed, second is by itself, third is to give you some idea of the size of this piece. The little knife to the immediate left of this blade is a Yarborough Knife.
Enjoy!

Seriously, beautiful knife. Is that pocket on the sheath made to hold a new Charge XTi?
