I have been looking for a nice knife for a while and have been looking here for a while. The Ingram's caught my eye and I started researching. Low and behold Gene's shop is approx 11 miles from where I work! Yep, called him up and swung by today. Needless to say, handled several knives approx settled on a #3 bird and trout. He had 4 knives unsold so I scooped one up. I am going back Thursday to pick it up. Super nice fella and lots of nice hardware. Will post a pic when I get it home.
Never seen a #3 B&T. I have a #4 and have seen pictures of the #1 but wasn't aware of another B&T model. I'd like to see that, I am really fond of the B&T genre because of their versatility. I've used my #4 on squirrels, rabbits, coyotes, turkey and deer. Does it all really well. And yes, Gene is a really good guy and an incredible craftsman.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
