5.25 Blade, Harsey
 

Here is some recent knife work from me.
5.25 inch blade, sandblast finish, CPM S-30V with fitted leather sheath. Full tapered tang, micarta handle.

These are snapshots, not Piter Class photos.

2nd image shows problems of high polish finish in image, same model knife.
Edited to add: knives are not sharp yet, that's next.

Can't wait to see that one in person... Outstanding in the photos Mr Bill!

Nice
 

Very nice.
They DON'T photograph as well but I like a high polish for a using knife.

Great looking piece!!!

Looks like perfect user... :eek:

Did you Stitch those with the Harness Machine??

Later

Yes! Using the leather stitcher is like going from a riding lawnmower to the left seat of a little bird. The learning curve has been steep.

The sun came out, got some slightly better images. The light better shows the handle shaping and detail of the tapered tang can be seen.
This takes some weight out of the end of the knife for nicer balance.

Looks Great...Bill

Bill - That is a good looking fighter! I think it is a nice addition to your long line of fine designs! See you Friday.

Bill, it is absolutely beautiful. Truly a work of art. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. Great job, Bill!

Like the leather work as well.

Ooh look; a shiny object!

Looks Good Bill, Looking forward to getting my hands on it.

Good times,
Blake

A work of art Mr. Harsey.

All the best

Very nice and very impressive, thank you for the photos.

A Bill Harsey Knife!
 

Very Nice Work Bill, Also received my Yarborough Knife today also a fine piece of workmanship. No I did not graduate from Q course recently, in fact it was 46 years ago on Nov.22,1963. Thank's for everything you do for Special Forces and that includes more than designing and making the best knives in the world. Regard's, tom kelly

Very nice!

Great looking piece Bill.

I like it very much. Is there any way I can get on a list for one? :)

Just one, taken today...

As always, beautiful work, Mr. Harsey!

Nice leather work!!
 

Bill,

Your leather work looks great!

Its nice to see your talent for knife design translates to leather as well. Job well done. Looks like the sewing machine purchase was well worth it.

Stay well and I will give you a call when I get back to the world.

Harsey 5.25 Utility Knife in the deep woods of Poland... :cool:

OK, now couple of pic's of my 5.25 Utility at work. Splitting wood, whittling, etc.

Just some pictures taken in the moutains... and the way I carried it :munchin

Mr. Harsey,

I really admire your work, and the pics posted here bring out the beauty of your latest creation.

Outstanding job, sir!

I still think this is about the most perfectly sized knife. Not to mention the simple beauty and functionality of the knife are at equal strengths here. You really cannot get a better knife than this. But I still like your tanto better, Mr. Harsey.:lifter

Piter, those are great photos. The knife is beautiful. Well done!

Thank you Sir! It's still my favorite fixed blade, perfect size for outdoor! Recently I made a kydex rig for it (pic) and I carry it quite often on my backpack in handle-down position now. Kydex works quite well for me in the Winter when I carry the knife on the outside of my cloths. Otherwise it'd be quite a problem to draw it (fast).

And also two outdoor pic's taken recently. We've got HELL LOT of snow here! And that's of course me and my BEST companion when walking in the woods.

Also I'm sorry that I didn't post for such a long time. Been busy a bit, than broken my ribs and I had to lay flat for some time... anyway, I'm back guys :D

I thoughts exactly, very nice leather work. The knife is top notch also!

Good looking dog, Piter!

Wow, thats a sharp looking blade! Id love to have one for myself soon. Mr. Bill congratulations on once again showing us a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.

Thanks! Yeah... and he has a heart of K9 :cool:
