Philip Gibbs, He is a real person!

Darrel Ralph · Nov 26, 2000

Here is a pic of Phil and myself at the ny show.

I couldnt resist showing what a twisted bastid (the comment is from the bastid dictionary) that PHIL really is.

He had this sword made up for him by the good folks in england at Raven I think it was.

This sword (Claymore style modified) has a 6 ft aprox long blade that is hollow ground. Tha blade is fantastic. It was so sharp that folks were getting cut just looking at it. The handle was about 18" long I think. It was bronze and ss steel wrapped.
What a great piece of art!

Back on subject... Phil just likes big toys.

Darrel,
You are definitely right, but who is the ugly bastid on the right?

Darrel Ralph · Nov 27, 2000

That would depend on the side of the pic you were standing on Kit

The sword is a big bastid eh?

Nakano,
Don't worry, if you had seen Phil in person, you would know that Phil's nose can take care of itself

I had the opportunity to meet Phil, too, outside the hotel on my way out of the show. He does, in fact, exist! Great guy, too. He laughed at my lame jokes, so I liked him right away..
