Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Ingram Kingfisher

Wow. Deja vue. I picked this up in 2010. Gene labeled it as Custom back then. Almost the same dimensions as yours. S30 and ironwood. If I was forced to only keep one knife, this would be the one. It is great for deboning, cutting out silvering and anything else I need to do.

I really like it, for me I'd like just a little bit of flex in the blade.

Interesting you mention flex. I asked gene how thin he would grind one and his reply was .100". He said there would be some flex but not much.

I have a Case folding fillet knife that is .060 at the thickest part and goes to .020 at the point and it is very flexible. I love using it for boning but the steel is soft and will not keep an edge.

When I got on the list for my next one, I asked if he ever made the kingfisher with 3/32 thick blades. He replied that he has has. I think it will be my next one.

I spoke to Gene via email and I am getting close to ordering a kingfisher. That knife reminds me of a #4 B&T but bigger. Yes, 3/32" steel. I am going to get red liners and Westinghouse, so the liners will probably have to be thick, especially at the butt if it's tapered. The kingfisher is on his web page and he lists the blade length as 4-5", your choice.

That's exactly what I want too.

Reminds me of the only Ingram knife I own....I had Gene make me a custom that is about the same dimensions and has just a slightly more upswept blade.

Been a very useful all around knife....

Ordered my Kingfisher today with a 4 1/2" blade. A supersized B&T...

It's one of the sweetest knives he makes. That longer blade will make it even a little more sweeter.

Very nice! Those black liners make the scales pop.

I just emailed Gene... I have to have a Kingfisher!

Mine is on the way. About 5 inches of S30V a little thinner than 3/32. Tasmanian blackwood scales. I think this will get a lot of use while butchering.

Very nice!

I really like the looks of that Tasmanian Blackwood. The striped contrasting figure is very attractive.

Ugh...killing me.

On the list. My turn should come up about March. Getting anxious now.

I just noticed this thread I started had bounced to the top. Several good examples above.

Now I am reminded I didn't re-up my name on Gene's list like I usually do upon receipt. Wife isn't going to be amused. Whats his lead time now?

I received the knife pictured above and there is no way pictures could ever do that blackwood justice. It has a opalescent quality that changes highlights in the wood depending on the light angle. Beautiful stuff.

Cheesy, I re-upped when I confirmed receipt of this knife but haven't heard back yet. This one was about 12 month wait.

Gene's blades work well in the kitchen!




Do like this Kingfisher, a2 steel, Desert Ironwood scales!





ya!


GWB

UGH!!! You're killing me. My name should be up in March and I am really starting to turn the gears on how I plan to handle my Kingfisher.

What is that specifically? Camel bone?
