We didn't have many knives to sell being that Matt just got in from Europe but I wanted to preview the new prototype DA Auto and the new Marble Carbon Fiber

As always Steve DeLac put on a great show and it was great to see everyone

Handled the new auto and the marble c.f.. The c.f. looks great, can't wait to see it on some knives.

The mechanism on the new DA is very cool. Should almost completely eliminate accidental openings. Very cool stuff.

As always, had a great time chatting with Matt and Joe!
 
Sweet looking knives and materials and some pretty impressive handling skills also. Thank you for the video Joe. Always enjoy seeing them. Mike

I thought I commented here last night but I see no comment. I wasn't paying attention to the forum and forgot there was a prototype to see. Oops! Good to see you both!
 
I'm loving the macho look of Matt's new endeavour, and have to say that Diskin is probably the coolest guy I've ever met in knifeworld. I always look forward to crossing paths with the man. Looking forward to crossing paths with you some day, Joe.
 
I managed to swing by on Sunday morning. Joe was now gone, taking care of his beloved dog. :)

Matt showed me this proto. Yeah it's rough, but it will be a HIT once they get it done. :thumbup:

I was NOT skilled or ready for the dial/button. :grumpy: The damn thing jumped out of my 'Art knife sensitive' grip and fell on the floor with Matt's laugh. :eek: ;)

By Blade, I'll be more ready, and so will this knife.

(Yes, I captured that bloodthirsty Hartsfield sword. I escaped it's angry edge....)

I agree Diskin is cool as hell :)

We need to get Joe to accompany Matt to the Seattle Blade Show in 2016. :D

This is a very special Sword for me

I commissioned it 13 years ago to commemorate the Birth of one of my daughters

It is probable the last sole authorship (before his so. Came to work back at the shop) Hartsfield Katana out there

It's dimensions and shape are everything my years training with swords brought me to

It has a long Tsuka (13 inches)

The Blade is 26 inches

It is so very sharp that ........... Go to 2 minutes of video

[video=youtube_share;OaIUh-QC7aY]http://youtu.be/OaIUh-QC7aY[/video]

This sword was made late in PH's career and I believe it is one of the finest swords that he has ever made

When I received it it was wrapped in brown paper and the paper had blood on it

I immediately called Phill and inquired

He said in his haste packing the sword to send to me it cut him ....... In typical Phill fashion he wiped the blade off taped his hand and shipped my sword :)

He warned me to be careful ...... He said this sword was blood thirsty

There are many old tales of blades that cut their makers and at times these blades were dubbed evil.

To this day I have a lot of reverence for this blade ......... It is so wicked it scares me :)

I do. It let many people handle this sword and even though Jim handles blades more than I do I felt obligated to tell him the story and to let him know to be very careful

I like Jim :)

I would never ship this sword anywhere and I was glad to have this chance to drive it in and document it in all is glory with Cops exceptional work

Thanks to the Coopers

Jims son delivered it back to me in its sword bag and case with a wonderful smile

To see this exceptional young man walking through the show with a Katana in a case strapped on his back was a great moment and I wished I would of gotten a pic :)

I did leave the sword on display at the DISKIN USA table and did let a few folks handle it

If I had to go in to battle with a sword it is the one piece out of my fairly large Katana collection that I would grab

It just feels wicked :) when Jims Pic comes in I will be doing a video on this piece
 
As always another great video Joe, looking forward to the one on your Katana. Need to have some cool back ground music for it :)
