This is Harvey Dean's Catfish model, this pattern is more commonly referred to as an Elephant Toenail but Harvey likes to call it his "Catfish" model, so it is. This knife features Harvey's ladder pattern Damascus made from 1075 and 15N20 steels and it is made as a three-bladed whittler, bolsters are stainless steel and engraved and gold inlayed by Master Engraver Ray Cover Jr. The mammoth handles are secured with 14-karat gold pins and there is one 14-karat gold escutcheon on the presentation side of the knife with an engraved boarder, the back springs, two of them, are stippled and the third is polished to highlight the whittler pattern. Harvey is a member of the AKI (Art Knife Invitational) group of makers.
