Kevin Harvey MS Cinquedea dagger
After a period of not being able to buy knives (because of medical reasons I won't bother you with) I was recently in the position of buying a new knife.
The knife I bought is this dagger: The specs are: Maker: Kevin Harvey MS Blade length: 12.00 in. Total length: 18.25 in. Blade width: 0.25 in. Blade thickness: 2.10 in. Blade: Five bar composite mosaic Damascus Bolster: Engraved hot gun-blued mild steel Handle: Stabilized and dyed giraffe shin bone This Italian Cinquedea style dagger has a hollow ground blade with very crisp grind lines and deep fullers to lighten the blade. The highly complex five-bar composite blade combines a flame pattern centre bar surrounded by twist pattern edges. The guard is hot gun-blued mild steel and is engraved and 24kt gold inlays accent the guard depicting Alexander the Great astride his favourite mount, Bucephalus. On the reverse, the fabled winged horse Pegasus is displayed. Each side of the handle holds engraved likenesses of Roman coins. On one side is the visage of Janus, the all seeing two faced god. The reverse shows Alexander the Great. Yesterday the FedEx guy delivered and I must say the pictures doesn't do this one justice. Marcel FYI The Cinquedea was used primarily as a thrusting weapon. Cinquedea means "five fingers" and it describes the width of the blade next to the guard. |

mrsjoan, Thank you for the compliments, it is indeed a very nice knife to have and to hold.
Your late husband had a talent for knifemaking in general and for daggers in particular. Marcel |
