1. Persian Utility knife. Blade length- nearly 4 1/2" M2 steel(RC64-65), 1/16" thick. Bought from Phill Sr. directly, it was one of his shop knives, used by Phill Sr. Made around 85-86. Blade has some patina spots on both sides, very sharp(I had Phill sharpen it when I bought it). Havent used it since I got it from Phill. 3 sheaths come with it- original elephant sheath with metal lining, 2 aftermarket, leather, kydex lined sheaths- 1 belt loop, other is for IWB carry(edge forward.) $SOLD
2. One-Of Kozuka- S7 tool steel blade(only S7 blade that Phill made), over 1/8" thick, BL- 3 3/4"(not incl ricasso), OAL- nearly 7 1/2". Chisel ground. Made around 86, 87. It was one of Phill Sr's workshop knives so theres abit of patina/very slight pitting on the "flat" side of the blade. Comes with the original and a custom leather covered/kydex lined pocket/neck sheath. Hasnt been used or carried since Phill Sr last sharpened it. $SOLD
3. Phill Hartsfield Sr Aikuchi, circa 1982, differentially tempered D2(Phill Sr was mainly using D2 in 1982). The point of the blade is also from this era, it has the traditional Japanese point, instead of Phill's Yoroi Toshi(Americanized Tanto point) that he used later. Oldest one ive seen in 22yrs of collecting his knives. If you look at the photo of Phills logo, you can see the rockwell test "dot" on it. Its RC60 at the leading edge. Double ground which is rare for Phill, he usually does chisel ground on his larger japanese style knives. Bought it from the previous owner at Phill's Garden Grove shop in the mid 90s, he was a military advisor who carried and used it in Honduras while training Contra rebels. Condition is used but blade is still very sharp. BL- 8 1/2". OAL- 14".
Comes with Phill's original plain leather sheath and custom nylon/kydex sheath that I paid $80 for. Hardest Hartsfield for me to let go off! Price is $SOLD
