Just that. I’ve got a few Ingrams, and a few knives from some other knife makers but nothing seems like it’s his quality as Mr. Ingram’s work. Never had a Menifee, or in Winston. But several others. Nope. Hint..............

Gene makes a fine knife that is for sure, but in the world of custom makers there are hundreds or maybe more that are on this level. I mean no disrespect either, he is an excellent craftsman.

I have exactly one Ingram. Used a bunch of stuff before and his lone blade has made me a believer. Just a well made knife that will skin and quarter an elk with no fuss.
Need to get another one coming for my boys.

I've had up to 300ish at times, (includes folders and fixed) not so now. If you're really interested maybe start a thread that's not buried in this one and you might get more responses than you'd imagine...I personally know several folks on here that have collections that would blow your mind...

I recall nearly all, if not all of their posts are in a very odd format with lots of “fhuqking” and “hints.” So odd… kind of like the poster from maybe 10 years ago who would seemingly have a multi-post conversation with themselves, most often in the big bore subforum and equally nonsensical…. Anyone remember that poster??? Edit to add: FOUND HIM: anyone remember BCD? https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/userposts/id/49337

He does make a nice knife, but so do some others. Really like the orange scales.
