I reached out to Gene last week to get on the list for a Kingfisher. While emailing back and forth he also mentioned that he had three others put together and ready to go. After drooling over the picture for a bit I decided to go with this Westinghouse Semi.

Not the exact configuration I would have ordered but this is more an experiment. I figured I will mess with this one some to see how the handle ergos work for me so I will be better informed at working up the details of what I want him to build when my name comes up next spring.

If it absolutely sucks for me I can always sell it and not be out a lot of money (if any at all).

Went ahead and asked him to make a kydex sheath for it too since this one will see a lot of use on the boat over the summer. Never liked leather sheaths around saltwater.

He emailed me this morning to tell me it should be here tomorrow or Friday.
