Here's two Hartsfields from my collection for sale, both one of's and priced very nicely. No trades, paypal only (split fees please), and shipped USPS Priority with DC and insurance (included in price). No trades either at this time. Both were made by Phill Sr. before his death. I've had the Kitchen knife from about 2002 or so, and about 2004 for the Utility. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Hartsfield Kitchen/Utility knife: Pretty much the only one like it that I've seen. 10.5" OAL, blade length is 6.5 from front of the copper habaki. Steel is 1/16" A2, chisel ground. This was very lightly used (like literally once) by me in my kitchen and while it has no scratches or discernable edge dulling, this is some very light "clouding" of the finish towards the front of the blade. Other then that the knife is in fantastic, uncarried condition. You will be very surprised of the condition given the price. Sheath is leather covered steel by Phill. Price is SOLD
Hartsfield M42 Utility: One of only a couple (IIRC-if anyone knows for sure, let me know) that Phill Sr. made in 1/8" Rex M-42, and both were different. I believe these were made from around '98/'99. RC somewhere around 72. Literally. Phill said it was insanely difficult to work that steel, so the couple that are out there are the only ones. Blade has a completely different finish then his usual brushed finish, and has a left hand chisel grind. There are some scratches on the right hand side of the blade from the previous owner, but chisel grind side is pretty much perfect. Blade length is 3" from front of copper habaki, and an oal of about 7". Sheath is leather over metal but has a finish that I've only seen on this one. It looks like raindrops, and was done with drops of epoxy. I guess an experimental knife by Phill deserves an experimental sheath! Price wise for a piece of Hartsfield and knife history is SOLD

Edmondson Pocket Chopper: VERY awesome knife that I really hate to part with. Unused. Steel is 1095 and is 3/8" at the butt with a taper all the way to the tip. OAL is 8.25", blade length is 4". Tan cord wrapped handle that's been stabilized with epoxy but could still be easily removed if you would prefer a "naked" handle. Leather sheath by maker. Pictures courtesy of previous owner, as I won't be able to take more until tomorrow morning. Price is $130...$125...$120...$115...$110...$105 shipped.
