Harsey Knife
 

I am, as of this morning, in receipt of a most excellent Bill Harsey, Jr. Custom Applegate-Fairbairn Knife, made of CPM S-30V steel.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail is incredible. He truly deserves the outstanding reputation he has within the knifemaking community.

It is literally a work of art, yet sharp enough to shave with and as pointed as a needle. I suspect that I could cut a 55 gallon drum in half with it, and it would still be in decent shape. I understand that Mr. Harsey has cut rifle barrels in two with an S-30V blade before.

I suspect that Colonel Applegate would be very pleased with this latest version of his knife.

Would anyone like to see pictures?

I cannot believe you posted that without a PICTURE!

Yes.

You actully think that you needed to ask ?? Or are you just making us suffer until you get around to it ?!?!?!

Thanks for the high complimnets Reaper, one small thing I have to address for the sake of saving my own rear, I can cut shavings, small type, from the surface of a rifle barrel, never tried to cut one in two, yet. Thanks!!!!!

Naked steel.

You know he's going to pull that knife out an inch at a time now.

edit, well now, its nice to be wrong...lol

so what does a knife of such high calliber as that pictured set a man back?

Like most good things in life, a premium product sells for a premium price.

These are hand made to exacting standards from the best materials currently available.

I will never need another knife of this particular type unless I lose this one or have to leave it somewhere.

I believe that they are going for $375 in CPM S-30V, and to me, are worth every penny. Mr. Harsey can give you the exact sum. His name, and the Colonel's is on every one he makes.

You will get one for free, if you accomplish your mission.

Great knives.... thanks for posting TR. :cool:

Question.... Was that knife made in Bill's shop by him... or was it made by another larger operation based on Bill's criteria?

By Bill personally, in his shop, for a specific customer.

He was very accomodating with the personal special requests as well.

I am VERY satisfied. I have it on good authority that it is pretty much guaranteed for life.

If the TS doens't me burning bandwidth, here is another one.
