Overview

This is a wonderful sole authorship piece from a legendary maker. This midlock has a mirror polish drop point blade with dovetailed desert ironwood scales.  Nickel silver bolsters have a large Southwestern motif engraved by the maker as does the nickel silver escutcheon.  Fancy filework on blade spine, backspacer, and liners. Perfect lockup-no bladeplay. Very near mint with just two very small dings on edge of liner and two small marks on scale wood. One of the finer examples of McBurnette we've seen in a long while. Blade Steel: D2

McBurnette, Harvey Otis

The late Harvey McBurnette is considered to be one of the legendary knife makers. His knives are hard to find and valuable. Harvey McBurnette, Dick Dorough and W.T. Fuller all worked together at Goodyear Tire and Rubber in Gadsden, AL. W.T. lost one of his hands in a treadmill accident and was retired from work. They were all friends and machinists, W.T. needed a front locking knife so he could open and close one handed. The three makers worked together and developed a front locking folder. Harvey had to move to New Mexico for health reasons, and continued making knives there. Harvey went on to greater fame than either W.T. or Dick, but they all made locking folders as their style. Harvey was a craftsman of craftsman. Harvey passed away in 1997.
