This thread is just too fun to miss out, so here's my Phill Hartsfield-like object. Some of those little angles are hard to hit just right, and at some point I just had to stop and not make it worse! :D Ya'll aren't kidding, the design looks striking and cuts like . The blade is ground from a hammer-forged beta ti billet, with very simple copper ornaments under a deerskin wrap. As outstanding as a metal sheath sounds, I can't take the glory away from my Øye my leatherwork droid, and a matching sheath is under construction; I'll post some photos of the whole setup when it's complete. Thanks for the great thread, JParanee.

Bravo

Really turned out nice

What does it weight

It's gotta be a sick carry piece
 
Thank you sirs, it was a real pleasure to make and gives rise to a lot of contemplation about knife design. It weighs 4.6 oz.
 
Sam! I'm glad to see that you can tread water. :D
I might need a Ti HLB, from you.
Hartsfield-Like Blade.

To see the acceptance and apreciation of Phills work warms my heart. To see so many great makers doing like pieces really makes me happy and I think Phill would be smiling as I am

Thank you all
 
Po really is.
I remember the first time I looked at his knives and said to myself, this guy can grind!
Do you have a Po folder, Joe?

Pohan seems to be only making folders these days. I don't think he has made a fixed blade in quite awhile.

Of all the liner locks out there today for me Pohan folders are very special because he does it all by hand, no automation involved. He is a true hands on craftsmen and that is what I look for when considering knives.
 
Joe- TRY a Leu folder.
I have heard that about Po, Adam. Thank you for the confirmation.
I have one HLB kwaiken and a Reduced Bluephin from him. I guess I'll keep them.

STeven- If Joe held this folder, he'd get one. It IS right up his alley but he doesn't know it.
You need one also, btw.

Is it double ground, and how is the blade to handle ratio?

Best Regards,

STeven Garsson
 
STeven- Mine is CG, of course, but Po makes a double ground and his B to H ratio is PERFECT!

Joe,

Thanks for starting a great Hartsfield thread. Thank you so much for sharing your collection in video and picture format. It's truly a treat to see Phill's work.

John
 
I remember seeing a Hartsfield scabbard that was cord wrapped. It matched the handle. So cool.
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
