2015 William Wales Scagel Award
I want to congratulate Master Smiths Kevin and Heather Harvey who were the recipients of the 2015 William Wales Scagel award by the American Bladesmith Society at the Annual ABS Awards ceremony at the Atlanta Blade Show. The Scagel Award is "Awarded to a Bladesmith for longtime service to promote the forged blade".
Master Smiths Kevin and Heather Harvey of Belfast, South Africa have made significant contributions to the ABS Mission of Education over the years. Kevin and Heather administer an ABS approved bladesmithing school at Heavin Forge in Belfast, South Africa, were involved in the creation of the Southern African Bladesmith Association (SABA), have been instructors at the Moran School of Bladesmithing at Texarkana College, filmed several educational videos for the ABS YouTube Channel, and this year Kevin Harvey made the 2015 International Master Smith Knife of the Year for the ABS Knife Auction in Atlanta.
Congratulations Kevin and Heather!
