Great looking knife! Love the hidden auto. Only wish there was a lefty.
 
I wish there were too

As mentioned in the video there will be a limited run of Fires with a special grind this year for Blade

One is on its way to Coop right now for pics :)

And of course we will have the flipper at Blade also ........ Hopefully :)
 
Man that is a sweet configuration on that one. I love mine, wearing it now. Matt's one of the most talented makers I never knew of. After I got the folder I looked up his stuff online. Looks like he can make anything he wants.
 
I have carried a Disken Fire every day for over a year. The elmax steel is amazing. I have only had to do touch ups to keep it sharp (honing). I cut some sand paper the other day and managed to get it dull enough to need sharping.
I guess I need a new one. Black blade and lighting strike back bar please.

Don't tease me like that! You know how I get when there's a sniff of the Diskin flipper out there.

Special grinds suit the 'Fire" well in my opinion as demonstrated here with these wicked grinds on this custom Damascus "Fire".

 
I agree on the special grinds thing :)

Watching the video now. Not sure why Jim was surprised by how awesome the knife is.

Also, those custom grinds are SICK!

Couldn't agree more, Joe.
Congrats on a fine piece, Kevin.
Who made the steel ?

Thanks Joe.
Doug, Chad Nichols.
Very nicely executed blade steel, a deep etch with a nice chatoyance when held in the light.
 
I have always really liked these Joe. I prefer to carry an assisted open knife for EDC, and this would be just perfect. Hopefully I can snag one eventually.
 
where did all these different fires come from!? :eek: Looking forward to this new blade grind. Here's my normal Fire amongst the giants of those grinds and damascus :o

 
Joe, thanks for posting the vid. I haven't landed a Fire yet but look forward to it someday. Unfortunately, it won't be Blade this year so please grab some shots of the Blade Fires and post 'em up!

Kevin, I love the blade and the materials on your Fire...fantastic!!! Would love to get my mitts on one like yours when my time comes :thumbup:

Finedges, that is a super clean look. Nice blade!
